(A) In the event that the meter is removed by the city after service is cut off for non-payment, or if the cutoff is voluntary, the customer will be responsible for payment of:
(1) A cut-off fee of fifty dollars ($50.00), if the cut-off is made during regular working hours; if the cut-off occurs after regular working hours, the fee shall be seventy-five ($75.00) dollars.
(2) A fee of twenty five dollars ($25.00) for cut-ons for all services during regular working hours; and a fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) for cut-ons for all services after regular working hours.
(B) In the event the customer fails to pay the gas or water cut-off fee, it will be added to his existing bill for services, which will then be deemed past due. No cut-on of any service will be made until all accounts with the city are made current, including the cut-on fee, if applicable.
(C) In the event that a customer absconds, all accounts due, less any deposit, will be charged against the customer. No service will be cut-on to that customer until all accounts against that customer are made current.
(D) This section is intended to place final responsibility for payment for all city services upon the customer.
