If the owner of any premises elects to have his or her tenant or lessee pay the water charges as they accrue, such tenant or lessee does so as the agent of the owner and such owner shall not thereby be relieved from the payment of delinquencies that might occur. If the tenant or lessee has made proper application and is not delinquent in payment, the owner does not have the right to order water off without permission from such tenant or lessee.
(Ord. 2017-10. Passed 2-6-17.)
(a) If any bill is not paid in full by the date specified in the disconnection notice, the water supply shall be shut off, and a reinstatement fee as stipulated by the current City fee ordinance, shall be made prior to turning the service back on, provided all other delinquencies have been paid in full. Service will not be turned on again unless the owner or account holder is present so that leaks, property damage or other unforeseen events can be avoided when service is restored. If the customer cannot be present, a signed waiver accepting any responsibility for leaks or property damage must be signed prior to reconnection of service.
(b) In the event an account holder submits a check to the City as payment for utility service and such check is dishonored by the bank upon which it was drawn, the City shall add any bank charges it incurs by reason of such dishonorment as additional charges. In all cases bank fees will be due and payable prior to reconnection of service. The City may refuse a check form of payment on any accounts with a history of NSF.
