Whenever a representative of the water company finds a
consumer who is receiving water at a flat rate, is permitting
leaks, making use of open hose Or wasting water, the water company
will, at the time of the violation, give the consumer a written
notice to that effect, and if the consumer is absent promptly mail
such a notice to him, stating therein the date, time of day and
manner inwhich such leaks, use of open hose or waste of water
occurred and advising the consumer that a regulation of the water
company is thereby being violated and that the consumer will be
subject to the penalty of having to pay a metered rate for water
service for a period of six months, if such leaks are not repaired
within fifteen days from date of such notice or the use of open
hose or the waste of water is not stopped within a period of five
days from date of such notice, or a second violation occurs in
permitting such leaks or in the use of open hose or waste of water
in a calendar year. If the consumer is a tenant a duplicate of
'such notice shall be promptly mailed to the owner of the premises.
If a representative of the water company finds that the
consumer does not repair any such leaks within said fifteen day
period, or stop using open hose or wasting water within said period
of five days, or that the consumer has permitted the use of open
hose or the waste of water for the second time in a calendar year,
the water company will give the consumer and owner a written notice
to that effect, as before, and in such notice advise the consumer
that a meter will be installed as soon as convenient to register
the water used by the consumer during the six months period following
the date of installation of such meter and thereafter until .the
consumer requests the water company, in writing, to remove such
meter and that the consumer will be required to pay for such water

water company applicable to metered service..
