(A) Applicants for utility services, to be provided by the town’s water utility and/or sewage works, will be asked and expected to provide, on their application, their complete social security number, along with valid contact information and other information needed by the town in order to identify the applicant and the property for which they are requesting service.
(B) An applicant for utility services, to be provided by the town’s water utility and/or sewage works, as an alternative to providing their social security number, may instead: 1) provide their driver’s license number; and 2) pay a deposit in the amount of $125 for sewer service and $125 for water service. Those deposits shall be in addition to all other deposits required by the town. Those deposits shall be held by the town for as long as the applicant remains a customer of the town’s water utility and/or sewage works and will be returned when service is terminated and all utility charges paid in full. If a customer fails to pay to the town, on time, any recurring or nonrecurring utility charges, the town may apply the amounts on deposit against the customer’s past due balance and that customer will be required to replenish (deposit again) the amount applied as a condition of continued service.
