(A) New or moving customers applying for utility service shall do so at the utility business office; shall complete an “Application for Utility Service”; and shall comply with the deposit requirements or creditworthy criteria, as specified herein, before any utility service will be rendered.
(B) When submitting the “Application for Utility Service”, the applicant will be asked for proof of identification (driver's license preferred). This is necessary to aid in the collection process, if necessary, and to eliminate possible falsification of who is actually living at the service address. The business office will make a copy of the proof document and attach it to the application form.
(C) After reviewing the application for completeness, the business office will determine the deposit requirement, if any, and review computer and/or other records to verity that the applicant has no previous history of being past due and for any previous account balances that may still be due.
(D) Upon payment of any required cash deposit, a receipt will be issued to the applicant.
(E) Copies of this subchapter and the related forms will be available at the utility business office.
