A customer occupying premises served with water, may have the water service to such premises temporarily or indefinitely terminated by giving the City written notice four days in advance of the effective termination date. A customer who is about to vacate any premises supplied with water service by the City shall be required to give written notice four days in advance of the specified “move-out” date to the City water department. Water and sewer service charges will be calculated on the final date of use with a meter reading to verify water consumption and the base rates being pro-rated through the same date. Until the City shall have such notice, the customer or water user shall be held responsible for all services rendered at the location concerned.

Whenever a water service is discontinued for such reason as hereinabove defined, the City may require a payment for the particular service rendered in addition to a reconnection or turn on charge, as set forth in the City’s rate and charge schedules. In the event water has been disconnected or shut off to a particular premises due to a delinquency in a premises account, the water shall not be turned on or reconnected until all past due charges against said premises have been duly paid and satisfied.

Should a water service be turned off or on by any water customer or user or other person without authority from the City water department, the water may then be shut off at the main or the meter removed, at the discretion of the water superintendent. The charge for shutting water off at the City main or removal of the meter shall be as set forth in applicable City rate schedules as adopted from time to time by the City Council. All such charges shall be billed to the premises where the water was supplied and water shall not again be furnished to such premises until said charges are paid. (Ord. 4-1982 § 26, 1982.)
