§ 78-53. Responsibility for damages by hot water heaters or steam boilers.

Persons using hot water heaters or steam boilers which take a supply of water directly from the service pipes of the public services department will do so at their own risk, as the public services department shall not be responsible for accidents or damages resulting in such cases. If the hot water backs up in the water pipes, damaging the meters or other connections, the costs of all necessary repairs to such equipment shall be paid by the consumer responsible therefor.
