(A) The owner of the property, desiring to discontinue or otherwise change service (including a change of the mailing address for a billing) shall make such request in person and in writing at City Hall. Appropriate identification from the owner is required. Only an owner can terminate or modify service. Any request of a tenant to terminate or modify an account will not be considered without the owner appearing at City Hall and making such request. Where discontinuance of service is requested, charges shall continue until the water shutoff is completed at which time final charges are due in full.
(B) Where a business entity desires to discontinue or otherwise change service (including a change of the mailing address for a billing) no less than one principal of the business shall make such request in person and in writing at the City Hall. All principals of the business must be identified or re-identified.
(C) When water service is again desired after having been discontinued, no matter if discontinued by owner request, due to nonpayment of charges or other cause, a charge of $50 shall be made and collected before turning on water and renewing service. An additional $100 charge shall be added to the $50 charge if water was shut off on an emergency basis not during normal city work hours. For any fees paid to the city after 2:30 p.m. with a request to turn on water, the water account shall be turned on by the close of the next business day.
