If a customer desires a temporary turn-off of utility services for a period of one month or more, he may make request to do so. Once turned off, a request for resumption of services prior to one month later will be honored only if accompanied by written documentation of the changes in circumstances that have occurred subsequent to the request for turn-off. The turn-off of services will not relieve the customer of payment of all minimum monthly charges during the turn-off period. The turn-off serves only to assist the customer in attempting to avoid damage or unintended consumption due to leaks or unauthorized uses during his absence. The first billing subsequent to the turn- off shall include a fee to reimburse the city for costs incurred. A similar fee shall be paid when service is turned back on.
