In the case of water customers who receive water through a meter which is not adjacent to their property and who require delivery of the water through easements against other properties and who experience a high water bill due to the failure of some portion of their system may apply for relief of the high bill, subject to the following. A onetime bill reduction will be made if the customer uses the funds to repair his water supply system. To be eligible for reimbursement, repairs must be designed (if a design is required) by a professional engineer. Any actual work must be performed by a licensed plumbing contractor. The district in no way warrants any design, repair or modification, and assumes no responsibility for future satisfactory operation of the system. Upon presentation of valid receipts for the repair (including any design), the billing will be reduced by the actual amount of the expenditure. In no case will the district allow a credit greater than the amount of the high billing. The onetime reimbursement refers to the life of the property, not the tenure of the present owner. Selling the property will not entitle the new owner to another onetime reimbursement, if one was previously made to a prior owner. (Ord. 11-237, 11-10-2011)
