However, the Department is also informed that "These customers were allowed to tap the old city line in years gone by, mainly for accommodation to thelp, and these customers were all notified in writing that the City would be unable to further serve them whenever the lease of the new transmission line became effective. "As the lease is not yet in force, these customers were given temporary service to give them an opportunity to secure a water supply elsewhere before the water was shut off."
