Each customer shall pay a $25 connection fee before service is begun. In addition each customer shall pay a $100 deposit. This deposit shall be held to secure further payments as required. Said deposit shall be applied to outstanding balances in case of default or shall be refunded, if unapplied, upon voluntary termination of service by the customer. Should there be an existing deposit held by the Eminence Water Works which has been unapplied to a delinquent bill and said deposit remaining is in an amount less than the full $100, then a customer seeking to restore the connection shall be required to pay such sum as is necessary to bring that existing deposit up to $100. No connection fee or deposit shall be required of any non-profit, religious (church or parsonage) or governmental entity.
