(A) Disconnection for nonpayment of bill. If water service is disconnected by the city by reason of delinquency in the payment of any water or sewer bill, reconnection of such service shall not be made until the owner or user pays all charges and penalties owed, plus the amount of ten dollars ($10.00) as a disconnection and reconnection charge, if reconnection is made during regular office hours. Such disconnection and reconnection charge shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00) if reconnection is made after regular office hours.
(B) Voluntary disconnection and reconnection. In the event a customer whose water service has been disconnected because of delinquency in the payment of a water or sewer bill elects not to have such water service reconnected, or a customer who voluntarily requests that his water service be disconnected, subsequently requests reconnection, such customer shall pay to the city, before water service is restored to his premises, any delinquent water or sewer bill owed by such customer, including the penalty on such bill, plus the disconnection and reconnection charge prescribed in division (A) of this section, plus an amount equal to the lesser of:
(1) The minimum monthly water (or water and sewer) rate for each month during which such customer's service was disconnected;
(2) The minimum monthly water (or water and sewer) rate for a period of one year; or
(3) The applicable connection charge at that time for new customers.
