(A) Customer relocation. The village should be notified to disconnect services when a customer moves. The village will then do a final reading at the meter and create a final bill for the portion of the month that the customer occupied the location.
(B) Disconnection upon violation. The Superintendent of the Water Department is hereby authorized and directed to discontinue, after reasonable notice to the occupant thereof, the water service to any property wherein any connection in violation of the provisions of this subchapter is known to exist, and to take such other precautionary measures as he or she may deem necessary to eliminate any danger of contamination of the public water supply distribution mains. Water service to such property shall not be restored until such conditions have been eliminated or corrected in compliance with the provisions of this subchapter, and until a reconnection fee of $225 is paid to the village. Immediate disconnection with verbal notice can be effected when the Superintendent of the Water Department is assured that imminent danger of harmful contamination of the public water supply system exists. Such action shall be followed by written notification of the cause of disconnection. Immediate disconnection without notice to any party can be effected to prevent actual or anticipated contamination or pollution of the public water supply; provided that, in the reasonable opinion of the Superintendent of the Water Department or the state’s Environmental Protection Agency, such action is required to prevent actual or potential contamination or pollution of the public water supply. Neither the village, the Superintendent of the Water Department, or its agents or assigns shall be liable to any customer for any injury, damages, or lost revenue which may result from termination of said customer’s water supply in accordance with the terms of this subchapter, whether or not said termination was with or without notice.
(C) Landlord agreements.
(1) If a property owner wants to have water service continued in his or her name upon the termination of a tenant’s account, the owner can fill out a landlord agreement form, upon the village’s acceptance of the landlord agreement form the village will automatically set up service in the owner’s name, for the addresses listed on the form immediately after the tenant’s account is terminated.
(2) The property owner is then responsible for the bills that occur between tenants.
