The Grant City Council, at its regular meeting Tuesday, May 27th, authorized the city to write letters of violation to people who turn on water service after having been shut off for nonpayment. Subsequent violations will result in prosecution.
In Missouri Section 569.090, it is a misdemeanor to tamper with a water meter so that they receive service which they are not entitled to. If it is a second or subsequent violation, it will be considered a Class E Felony. If such a defendant has previously been convicted of stealing a motor vehicle, water vehicle, or aircraft, it will be considered a Class D Felony.
