(A) (1) When temporary water service is requested for any purpose, the village shall make an estimate of the cost of installing and removing the facilities required for such service and the applicant for the service shall deposit with the village the amount of such estimate. When such temporary service is no longer desired and is discontinued, all facilities not thereafter usable shall be removed and the actual installation and removal costs shall be determined.
(2) The customer shall then be reimbursed for the amount of his or her deposit less the “in and out” cost determined as above. During the period of the temporary service, the customer shall also be liable for a service charge calculated in accordance with this subchapter.
(B) In lieu of the deposit as described in division (A) above, a fee as stated in the Deposit, Fee, and Charge Schedule adopted by the village, shall be paid for the installation of a three-fourths- inch meter on a service line for use by a contractor during the construction of a building. The fee shall cover the cost of the first 10,000 gallons of water use.
(C) The contractor shall provide adequate support for the meter in a protected place. Failure of the contractor to provide proper care for the meter, a misuse of, or damage to, the meter may constitute grounds for removal of the meter and terminating the temporary service.
