Each single residential unit or multiple-residential unit shall tender to the city, with the application for any utility connection, a deposit as set forth in the rate table below. These rates apply to residential customers only. Deposits for commercial establishments will be determined at the time of application for utilities which shall be in the sum equivalent to six weeks’ billing for all connected utility services. The deposit shall be retained by the city and if necessary, upon termination of service, applied towards payment of any delinquent balances or refunded to the user (residential or commercial) after two years, provided all balances have been kept current during the two years and no checks were returned for any reason during that period. Persons presently on city utilities who move to another residence on city utilities will not be required to update their deposit, provided their paying record meets the criteria set forth above. Persons who have received their refund and moved to another residence on city utilities will not be required to make a new deposit. Persons disconnected for nonpayment who have been previously refunded their deposit will be required to increase their deposit to these new amounts.
