Each consumer shall, prior to receiving electrical service from the town, furnish a deposit in an amount as provided for in section 9-1-9 of this chapter. Such amount shall be fixed based on the potential use and average anticipated monthly bill for each class of electrical connection and service. Whenever electrical service has been discontinued to any consumer, and if all charges incurred by such consumer have been fully paid to the town, then any deposit made by such consumer for obtaining electrical service shall be returned to such consumer. (Ord. 211, 1-20-1988)
