(A) Applicants who desire to receive town water, wastewater and stormwater and sanitation services shall submit a completed service application and pay the deposit. In the event that an applicant applies for service, but has previously left the town with an unpaid utility account, whether or not it was expensed as a bad debt loss, the applicant must first pay any prior unpaid account balance before service may be granted.
(B) All residential owner-occupied and residential non-owner-occupied applicants who request utility service shall complete a service application and pay a residential deposit of $250.
(C) Deposits shall be held without interest until 45 days after service to the occupant is terminated.
(D) Following disconnection, service may be reconnected on business days, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. upon the payment of the balance of all past due charges owed, together with a $60 reconnect fee for water/wastewater.
(E) Upon the death of the account holder, the account must be re-established in the name of the current occupant within one year of death, with a new deposit(s), unless the property is owner-occupied residential property occupied by the surviving spouse, who shall be permitted to maintain the account in their deceased spouse's name.
