Any property owner or user desiring to voluntarily discontinue service shall notify the Finance Officer in writing of the same. A disconnection fee, set by resolution, shall be charged prior to disconnection. When the Finance Officer has received notice and the disconnection fee then the city shall discontinue service within five business days of receiving such written notice, however, any property with a residence that is vacant or vacant and for sale shall continue to be charged one-half of the minimum fee which is set by ordinance; the minimum fee is calculated based on the usage of 3,000 gallons. What a voluntary discontinuance does is to have the water service turned off at the curb stop. A reconnection fee, set by resolution, will be charged prior to the resumption of service.
