Construction of the premises or facility to be served by the connection must begin within one hundred eighty (180) days from building permit issuance or utility service plan approval and the construction shall be pursued to completion without suspension or abandonment, as provided in the City's Building Code or as provided in Utilities' tariffs or service standards and specifications.

A. Request For Disconnection: Utilities shall disconnect the service line of premises from the distribution main of the City upon request of the customer. The disconnection shall be accomplished in a manner which ensures against leakage of water.
B. Disconnection, Customer Responsibility; Transfer Of Water Development Charge: In the event that the premises of a customer is disconnected from the water system, the customer shall be responsible for all costs of the disconnection. Transfer of credit associated with a water development charge is generally prohibited; however, transfers may be permitted in limited circumstances in accordance with Utilities' tariffs.

If a customer shall fail or refuse to pay the cost of the shutoff within thirty (30) days after billing, then in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Utilities, the cost may be assessed against the property formerly served in the same manner as water development charges may be assessed against the property.
