When it becomes necessary to suspend delivery of water for the purpose of making repairs,
connecting extensions, or any other reason, the city will exercise due diligence to
notify, if practical, the customers affected of the fact, but the utilities department
is to be held free and not liable for any damages resulting from interruption of service
whether notice of such interruption has or has not been given. The city shall be held
blameless and free from liability in case of damage to property in the process of
manufacture or development because of uncontrollable interruptions of service caused
by breakage or restriction of supply lines.
(b)
Should services fail by reason of an act of God or public enemy, accidents, strikes,
or their equivalent, legal process, or injury to the equipment of the city or extraordinary
repairs, the city shall not be liable in damages for any such interruption of services.
