Whenever the village or a customer discovers that there has been an error in billing for any utility services, or in the event of a customer’s request for an adjustment of a utility bill due to a water service break or other cause, any rebate or credit issued by the village shall be limited to a time period beginning on a date two years prior to discovery of the error or the customer’s request for an adjustment.
(Prior Code, § 50F.001) (Ord. 98-008, passed 2-16-1998)
When an error in billing is discovered, or in the event a customer’s request for an adjustment of a utility bill is honored, the village shall issue a cash rebate only if the service is discontinued. In all other cases, the village shall credit the amount overpaid by the customer against subsequent utility bills.
(Prior Code, § 50F.002) (Ord. 98-008, passed 2-16-1998)
The policies set forth in this subchapter shall apply to all village utilities: gas, electric, water and sewer. However, since each utility has a separate fund within the village treasury, any credit or rebate shall be solely against the fund which received the overpayment.
(Prior Code, § 50F.003) (Ord. 98-008, passed 2-16-1998)
