Discontinuance of Water
Service: Water service will be
discontinued to any water user or property on account of
temporary vacancy of such property upon written request of the
water user, without in any way affecting the agreement in force,
and upon payment of all charges due as provided in the Rules and
Regulations of the Owner.
In the event that water service is discontinued for any reason
other than the temporary vacancy of the property, or in the event
that it is discontinued and another source of water supply is
used for the property, then reconnection shall be made only in
the event that the minimum bill for the period of disconnection
shall be paid by the water user or owner of the property. In
addition, all previously unpaid bills, plus six percent (6%)
interest thereon, shall be paid before reconnection shall be
allowed for such water user or property.
In the event that an applicant for water services has purchased
or otherwise acquired the property and holds title thereto and
the previous landowner had discontinued water service other than
because of the temporary vacancy thereof, said applicant shall
not be required to pay the above reconnection charges as a result
of the conduct or actions of the previous landowner but shall be
required to pay only a connection charge of five dollars ($5.00)
plus a fifty dollar ($50.00) deposit.
In the case of a water user who had discontinued from the system
for a reason other than the vacancy of the property, or in the
case of a landowner of such property desiring to restore service,
then such water user or landowner shall pay, in addition to the
charges above set forth, a reconnection charge of fifty dollars
($50.00) for reconnecting said property to the system of the
Owner.
Except in the case of failure of the water user to pay the bill
owed the Owner for water service, as set forth in these Rules and
Regulations, the Owner will not discontinue the service of any
water user for violation of any Rule or Regulation of the Owner,
without written notice of a least two (2) days, mailed to such
customer at his address as shown upon the Owner’s records,
or personally delivered to the water user or a member of the
household, advising the water user what Rule has been violated
for which service will be discontinued if the violation is
permitted to continue. Provided, however, that where
misrepresentation of use of water is detected, or where the
Owner’s regulating or measuring equipment has been tampered
with, or where a dangerous condition is found to exist on the
water user's premises, service may be shut off without notice in
advance. Subject to the foregoing provisions, service rendered
under any application, contract or agreement may be discontinued
by the Owner for any of the following reasons:
