(a) In an effort to relieve the increase in costs that are becoming daily a greater problem for the elderly who are living on a fixed income, and further, to encourage others to join with the City in giving similar consideration to those same individuals in respect to their charges for business services, the Utility will extend a discount credit in the amount of one dollar ($1.00) on the water side and one dollar ($1.00) on the waste water charges for monthly billing. This credit shall apply only to the principal residence of the senior citizen.
(b) In order to be eligible for such credit, any and all consumers of the Utility who have reached the age of sixty-five years shall make application therefor to the Water and Wastewater Department of the City. In order to facilitate the implementation of the program, the Water and Wastewater Department is herewith authorized and directed to proceed in the following manner:
(1) To establish procedures commensurate with the powers and duties of the Water and Wastewater Department for the acceptance of any and all applications made pursuant to the terms, provisions and conditions hereof and to aid and expedite the determination of eligibility for the credit provided for hereunder.
(2) To design, prepare and adopt any and all necessary forms, applications and/or other written instruments necessary and incidental to the implementation of this program.
