Upon written request, services on an account may be temporarily turned off for a period not to exceed one year. This will allow seasonal residents to maintain an active account with the City without having to pay minimum service charges. There is a thirty five dollar ($35.00) convenience fee for this service. Both water and gas meters will be locked while temporarily off. Turning services off temporarily does not relieve the property owner from any usage that may occur during the time it is turned off. The account holder is responsible for ensuring all usage charges are paid when they become due. Seasonal accounts that have been turned off for longer than one year may be turned off and the deposit refunded to the account holder. (Ord. 1266, 9-11-2017)
