8. That when said works shall have been sufficiently completed, the said water commissioners

shall have authority to furnish water to individuals, and to establish such general

rates of price and time of payment thereof as they may deem proper, and to prescribe

such rules, regulations, conditions and restrictions as to the use of water, as may,

in their opinion, be necessary to prevent abuse; the said water commissioners shall

have power, and it shall be their duty, to stop off the water from any premises, the

owner or occupants of which shall have neglected to pay such price at the time specified

for the payment thereof, or shall have violated or permitted the violation of any

of said rules, regulations, conditions or restrictions; and whenever the said water

commissioners shall have caused the water to be stopped off from any premises, for

either of the causes aforesaid, they shall not permit the same to be restored until

the applicant for such restoration shall have paid all arrearages of water rent, together

with the expenses incurred in stopping off the water; or in case said water shall

have been stopped off by reason of any violation of the rules aforesaid, then they

shall not permit the same to be restored until the expense of stopping off the same

shall have been paid by the applicant for such restoration, and such applicant shall

have given satisfactory security or assurance that such violation shall not again

occur.
