(A) Written application or contract required. A written service application or a properly executed contract will be required from a prospective customer (including a contractor or a builder) before the Utility shall supply service; however, the Utility shall have the right to reject an application for any valid reason. Where unusual construction or equipment expenses will be involved in furnishing the service, the Utility may require the contract to be for an appropriate period of time specified by the Utility when the contract is executed.
(1985 Code, § 36-9-2-14(d))
(B) Modification of contract. No promises, agreements or representations by any agent of the Utility shall be binding upon the Utility unless they have been incorporated in a written contract signed and approved by an agent of the Utility authorized to sign that contract on behalf of the Utility.
(1985 Code, § 36-9-2-14(e))
(C) Assignment of contract. The benefits and obligations under any contract for the supply of water by the Utility shall begin when the Utility commences to supply water service thereunder and shall inure to and be binding upon the successors, assigns, survivors, executor or administrator, as the case may be, of the original parties thereof; provided, that no assignment thereof shall be made by the customer or by any successor, assign, survivor, executor or administrator unless the Utility's written consent to any such assignment is first obtained.
