183. If any person causes or allows any apparatus to be out of repair, or to be so used that the water supplied from the water delivery system is wasted, or unduly consumed, or if he refuses or neglects to pay the compensation lawfully imposed for the water supplied to him, for 30 days after the same is due and payable, the municipality may discontinue the supply so long as the person is in default, which shall not, however, exempt such person from the payment of such compensation, as if the water had been supplied to him without interruption.
