(Ord. 15-13. Passed 10-22-13.)
(b) Water service may be terminated or denied to any premises if there is outstanding water or sewer charges to the premises, or denied to any person who has outstanding water or sewer bills with the Municipality.

(Ord. 25-10. Passed 12-14-10.)
(d) If the property owner fails to pay for water service supplied to the property, the Municipality per Ohio R.C. 743.04 shall certify the delinquency to the applicable County Auditor to be placed on the tax duplicate as other taxes are collected.
