(A) Except as provided in division (B), below, there shall be no transfer, or so-called transfer, from one location to another of deposits made for utility service. In each case, the transfer shall be considered a new application for service and shall be treated as such. When premises are vacated, any amounts due for water service shall be paid in full and utility service shall not be connected at another place until this is done. This removal from one place to another shall be considered as a new request for utility service and applicants shall be required to make the current deposit amount in effect at the time the request is made.
(B) A customer who has qualified for a good payment standing deposit refund pursuant to § 31.100(C) may transfer the deposit exemption to a new residential service where the customer lives, provided that the old residential service is no longer maintained in the customer’s name. However, the continued service at the previous address may remain in the good credit standing customer’s name if the continued service is for construction or reconstruction purposes for the benefit of the good standing customer during the construction or reconstruction process only.
