(A) A customer may request in writing to the Clerk-Treasurer for permanent discontinuance of service to forestall monthly payments of commodity and base charges for water, and flow and base charges for sewage. If such request is granted by the Utilities Superintendent, it will be conditioned upon the property owner agreeing to:
(1) Arrange for and pay all costs associated with the permanent disconnection of the sanitary building sewer at or near the public right-of-way (property) line with appropriate plugging and marking of the end of the sanitary building sewer at that location; and
(2) Arrange for and pay all costs associated with the permanent disconnection of the building water service at or near the public right-of-way (property) line or on the customer side of the meter vault both in accordance with requirements of the town and under the inspection of the Utilities Superintendent.
(B) Service at this property may only be reinstated when the property owner arranges for and pays all costs associated with necessary re-connection of divisions (A)(1) and (A)(2) above.
(C) In the event that the town has determined or determines that the sanitary building sewer or building water service in the public right-of-way requires replacement for any reason, the property owner will also be assessed the usual and customary charges for reinstalling these services.
(D) Town utilities can be turned off to vacant or unused commercial properties in the town without having to permanently disconnect the utilities to such properties.
