An applicant for services shall make a deposit, the amount of which shall be determined by resolution. An applicant shall not be granted such service until he or she has paid to the Town Clerk such deposit, which shall serve as a guarantee for the payment of charges for utilities, services and other amounts owed to the town in connection with such municipal services. When a customer’s service is discontinued, the deposit or any part of the amount deposited which remains after all such charges and amounts due the town have been satisfied, shall be returned to the customer.
(`85 Code, § 20-4)
Not more than one premises may be connected to any one water meter or sewer tap without special arrangements being made with the town. No customer shall make or permit to be made any subsidiary connection of another’s premises with his or her water or sewer service.
(`85 Code, § 20-5)
It shall be unlawful for any person to turn the utility onto any premises from any municipal system without written permission of the Town Clerk. Utilities shall not be turned on until the plumbing or electric wiring, as the case may be, has been inspected and approved by the Utility Superintendent or
his or her designated representative as provided by ordinance and until any and all deposits and charges have been paid. The Town Clerk will see that the utility is turned on when all requirements for service have been complied with.
(`85 Code, § 20-6) Penalty, see § 50.99
(A) All bills for utility services shall be due and payable by the tenth day of the month following the services rendered. After the tenth day of the month, unpaid bills shall be considered delinquent and a 10% penalty shall be added.
(B) As soon as practical after the tenth, but before the fifteenth, town officials shall notify all past due accounts. This notice shall state the total amount of the unpaid bills, plus any penalty added, and request payment before the twentieth to avoid cut-off on that date.
