(A) All taps to any village utility system and updates of any service shall be made by village personnel, or by other competent personnel as approved by the Superintendent of Public Works, in his or her sole discretion.
(B) The Superintendent of Public Works shall provide application forms for taps, and service updates, and no application shall be approved until the tap fee or update deposit is paid, together with any deposit required by § 50.069 of this chapter.
(C) All tap and service update applications shall be signed by an owner of record of the premises to be served.
(D) Tap fees are required for all utility installations unless the property served has an existing service that may be used without modification.
(E) The fee for an update of an existing utility service is the actual cost thereof. However, the Superintendent of Public Works will estimate the actual cost of the village’s labor, material and overhead for the update, and before the village updates the service, the customer shall pay a deposit equal to 110% of such estimate. If the actual cost incurred by the village is more than the estimate, then the customer shall pay the difference; if the actual cost is less than the deposit, the customer will be refunded the difference.
(F) The village will install utility services up to and including the meter. The village will not install or be responsible for installations past the meter. The customer will install the electric meter base supplied by the village on the building at the desired location, and the village will wire to it. The village will make the final connection at the electric meter on the customer’s side. The village may in its sole discretion make the final connection on the customer’s side for water and gas meters.
(G) A village lineperson will be present at all times during any service work past the meter requiring access to the meter. If such work is performed after normal business hours of the Electric Department, the customer will be responsible for the extra cost to the village thereof, including, but not limited to, any overtime pay and benefits for the lineperson.
