(A) At the time of application for water and/or sewer service, a deposit shall be required of applicants who have not previously received service from the village, or who have an unsatisfactory record of payment of water and/or sewer bills. A copy of a previous village water bill will be required for a deposit to be waived. The amount of the deposit is provided in the current rate schedule.
(B) The deposit shall be applied to the customer’s bill at the conclusion of six months from the initial commencement of service; provided that service is still current. If that service is no longer current, the person making the deposit may request, in writing, a refund if his, her, or their account is paid in full. If a forwarding address is not made available to mail the refund, then the deposit will become the property of the village after a one-year period.
