remain unpaid after thirty days from date of sending, the Mayor and
Common Council of Manchester shall, after written notice, to be left upon
the premises or mailed to the last known address of the owner, turn off
the water from the property in question and it shall not be turned on
again until said bills shall have been paid. If any bill shall remain un-
paid for sixty days after being sent out by the Mayor and Common Coun-
