(a) Except as provided in Section 921.09 for new water service, all applications for water service shall be made at the office of the Director of Finance or the Director of Finance's designee by the owner of the premises to be supplied, or by his authorized agent.
(b) No application for existing water service shall be allowed, and no water shall be supplied to any applicant or consumer where it is apparent that the applicant or consumer is indebted to the City for water supplied, work done, material furnished, or penalties imposed. This provision shall apply whether the indebtedness was incurred at the premises for which application is made or at any other premises supplied by the City within or without the corporate limits.
(c) The water service shall be turned off on the written request of the occupant of the property receiving water service or at the request of the owner of a property if different from the occupant with a court order, or it may be turned off at the initiative of the Service Director as a protective measure during vacancy of the premises or for violation of any rule or regulation contained in this chapter or promulgated pursuant thereto. The City reserves the right to assess a fee as set by ordinance to the occupant or owner who requests water service be turned off.
