SECTION 3. Chapter 3-12 of the Municipal Code of Chicago is hereby amended
by inserting a new Section 3-12-035, as follows:
3-12-035 Past Due Accrued Charges.
An accrued past due sewer service liability of $l,OOO.OO or more shall subject the
owner of the subject property to a penalty of not more than $500 per day. The
amount of such penalty does not include the delinquent amount owed for server
service and any applicable late payment penalties, nor does it affect any other
remedies of the department of water pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal
Code, including shutoff and right to a lien on the subject property.
SECTION 4. Chapter 11-12 of the Municipal Code of Chicago is hereby amended
by deleting the language and figures in brackets and inserting the languages and
figures in italics, as follows:
11-12-040 Maintenance And Repairs.
Every person having service from the Chicago Waterworks System shall, at his
own cost and expense, keep in repair all pipes, including private supply pipes or
fire hydrants, leading from the shutoff rod box to his building or premises, and
prevent all waste of water from such pipes. If any such pipe be permitted to
remain out of repair, the commissioner of water may, after a two-days prior notice
in writing, cut off the water from said premises; and whenever the water is so cut

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

off it shall not be permitted to be again turned on until such pipe or pipes have
been placed in proper repair. The notice herein provided for may be served by
personal service, or by mailing it to the owner or occupant, or person in
possession, charge or control of the premises.
1 l-12-080 Injuring Or Obstructing Hydrants.
No person shall wilfully or carelessly break or injure any of the public orprivate
hydrants, or pollute or unnecessarily waste the water at any such hydrant, or
obstruct the use of any fire hydrant, or place any material in front thereof, or
within five feet from either side thereof.
11-12-330 Liability For Charges.
[All applications for water service shall set forth the name and address of the
person for whom the service is desired and the name and address of the person’
who is to be responsible for water charges.] The [person for whom such
application is made] owner of a property, location or address where water or water
seruice is supplied shah be responsible for payment for any water or water service
supplied [as the result of such application,] until notice shall be given in writing
to the commissioner of water, at least ten days in advance, that such service be
terminated. A property owner may request that bilhng statements be sent in the
name of a tenant on the property through the filing of a form provided by the
department of water, however, such billing to a tenant does not reZieue the owner
of the subject property from liability for unpaid water and sewer charges. When a
tenant or otherparty is the named billed party, both that party and the owner of the
subjectproperty shall be liable for unpaid water charges jointly and severally. An
accrued past due water service liability of $l,OOO.OO or more shall subject the
owner of the subject property to a penalty of not more than $500 per day. The
amount of such penalty does not include the delinquent amount owed for water
service or any applicable
late payment penalties, nor does it affect any other
remedies of the deparhent of water pursuant to the provisions of this Municipal
Code, including, but not limited to, shutoff and the right to a lien on the subject
property.
1 I-12-480 Delinquent Payments.
[After the expiration of the time of payment specified hereinbefore for each of the
districts, a list shall be compiled of those premises for which assessed rates and
charges remain unpaid, and the water supply of the premises against which such
rates and charges remain so outstanding shah be cut off by the department of
water.] Whenever any water charges shall remain unpaid after the expiration of 30
55448
JOURNAL--CITY COUNCIL--CHICAGO
3/28/ 2001
days from the date of such statement the water supply for the premises so serviced
and delinquent shall be subject to termination, and the service shall not be resumed
until all water bills in arrears shall have beenpaid, including accrued penalties, and
all applicable fees set out in Section 1 I-12-120 have been paid for termination and
resumption of water suppZy service. If, however, at any time that the premises are
visited for this purpose they shall be found vacant, so that said cutting off would
not be liable to serve the purpose of enforcing collection, said cutting off shall not
be mandatory if, because of the shutoff rod box or the stopcock being out of repair,
such act entails the expenditure of any sum for labor or material disproportionate
to the amount of such delinquent rates. [If after the expiration of 30 days from the
date on which any bill for rates or charges under meter rates is rendered, said bill
shall remain unpaid the water supply to the premises served by such meter or
meters shall be shut off, and shall not again be turned on until the rates or
charges so outstanding have been paid.]
In any situation where the shutting off of water service is liable to involve the city
in litigation, or where the property involved is in the hands of a court, such
shutting off may be postponed pending advice from the corporation counsel; or if
such shutting off would be productive of public danger, or would create a pestilent
situation, or would entail suffering by a great number of persons who are not
liable for the payment of the delinquent bill, or where the premises involved are
the property of the United States, or the State of Illinois or of any of its political
subdivisions, such shutting off may be withheld if in the judgment of the
commissioner of water the withholding of such shutting off best serves the
interests of the City of Chicago.
1 l-12-490 Enforcement Of Lien.
When any water taxes, rates or rents assessed or charged, or service charges for
installation or disconnection of water service assessed or charged, pursuant to
ordinance remain unpaid, in whole or in part, the statutory lien upon the premises
or real estate upon or for which the water was used or supplied, or the water
service was installed or disconnected, for which such taxes, rates, charges or rents
have been assessed or charged, may be enforced in the following manner:
Suit [shall] may be commenced as hereinafter provided or a claim for lien in the
name of the city shall be filed in the office of the recorder of deeds of Cook County
or in the office of registrar of title of Cook County if the property affected is
registered under the Torrens system, within four months after such water taxes,
rates, rents or charges shall have become due and payable]; provided, that at least
ten days before the commencement of such suit or the filing of such claim for lien,
the city shall have sent a notice by mail, postage prepaid, to the premises upon or
for which water was used or supplied, or the water service was installed or
disconnected, addressed as follows: “To owner or owners and party or parties

if not registered by meter; (5) the amount or amounts of money due therefor; (6)
the dates when such amount or amounts became due and payable; and (7) the
date of mailing the notice as hereinbefore provided.
SECTION 5. Chapter 1 1 12 of the Municipal Code of Chicago is hereby amended
by inserting a new Section 1 l-12-485, as follows:
11-12485 Unauthorized Reconnection Of Cut Off Water Supply.
(a) No person, unless acting under the direction of the water commissioner, shall
reconnect or turn back on any water supply which has been shut off or withheld by
the department of water. The owner of the building, structure orpremises for which
the water is supplied, the person in possession, charge or control thereof and any
person who reconnects or turns back on the water supply, shall be subject to a $500
fee imposed by the department of water.
(b) Any person against whom the water department imposes a $500 fee pursuant
to subsection (a) shall have a right to a hearing to contest the fee, if he or she files
a written demand for a hearing within fourteen (14) days from the date of notice
served by the department of water assessing the fee. Notice may be served in
person or by first class mail The date of the notice shall be the date notice is
delivered, if served in person, or the date notice is deposited in the mail, if served
by first class mail A hearing shall be conducted by the department of
administrative hearings within fourteen (14) days of receipt of a written demand for
a hearing, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Failure to request or
55450
JOURNAL--CITY COUNCIL--CHICAGO
3/28/2001
attend a scheduled hearing shall be deemed a waiver of the right to a hearing. A
hearing held pursuant to this section shall not determine or otherwise adjudicate
liability for any unpaid water rates or charges related to the water department’s
order to shut off or withhold the water supply which was reconnected or turned
back on improperly.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as prohibiting the department of
water from collecting any cost and expenses incurred as a result of the
unauthorized use of the water supply reconnected in violation of this section and
also any unpaid water rates, as provided by other applicable
law.
SECTION 6. Section 13-200-460 of the Municipal Code of Chicago is hereby
amended by deleting the language and figures in brackets and inserting the
language and figures in italics, as follows:
