(A) Any customer wishing to have water service resumed after the service has been disconnected for failure to pay the delinquent utility bill when due, shall request the reconnection of the water service, and shall be responsible for the full payment of any outstanding utility bill for services previously provided prior to reconnection.
(`92 Code, § 9-116)
(B) Prior to reconnecting service to the residence of any delinquent utility customer, the customer shall also be required to pay to the Town the reconnection fee established in § 54.23(C) to cover the cost of the disconnection from, and reconnection to, the Town water distribution system due to the non-payment of the delinquent utility bill. The reconnection fee shall be assessed if the delinquent bill is not paid by the due date and the corresponding disconnect work order is generated.
(C) The Utility Department Superintendent shall have the authority to negotiate a monthly repayment schedule for delinquent water bills incurred by those customers who cannot immediately pay the arrearage on their water bill. If a satisfactory written agreement for the repayment of delinquent water bill is negotiated prior to the due date of the delinquent bill, then the delinquent customer may avoid disconnection. Customer must continue payment of the amounts agreed to be paid on a negotiated basis for repayment of the delinquent water bills. Failure to pay per the agreement may result in delinquent status and disconnection.
