(A) Applications for service. Application for water service and installation shall be made at City Hall. Every person on city water services shall comply with all ordinances, rules, and regulations of the city relating to the municipal water system.
(B) Rental property.
(1) The tenant is allowed to receive the monthly bill along with the property owners. It is the property owner that is ultimately responsible for water supplied to the property and any water and sewer charges unpaid by the rental customer.
(2) If the property has individual meters but only one shut-off to the entire property (meaning the shut-off controls more than one unit), the property owner(s)/landlord will be responsible for the water and sewer charges.
(C) Private wells. No well may be drilled in any location that the municipal water system is reasonably and readily accessible, except by special permit from the City Council. The special permit will be brought forward based upon a recommendation of the City Engineer and the City Administrator.
