(A) The service deposit for residential water and sewer subscribers will be $60. This deposit shall be retained by the city water and sewer system as security to be applied to final bill at termination of service. Any balance of deposit shall be refunded to the subscriber.
(B) Satisfactory credit history may be accepted in lieu of monetary deposit. A satisfactory credit history is one who has previously maintained service with city water and sewer system for a minimum of 12 months, and not received more than three past due notices, or one who has closed out prior accounts with the city water and sewer system in an acceptable manner.
(C) A subscriber with satisfactory credit may have service in more than one location. However, if any one account becomes delinquent, all accounts are considered past due and service will be terminated.
(D) Persons applying for commercial water and sewer service may be required to make a deposit equal to the estimated charge for two months service. After 12 months satisfactory service, such subscriber may request a reduction and partial refund of deposit, which shall be freely granted by the City Council; provided, such subscriber has maintained satisfactory credit as set forth.
