(A) Restricted. The sale or sharing of water provided by the town by any residential user located within or outside the town limits with any other adjacent structure, whether permanent or temporary, including, but not limited to, residences, recreational vehicles, travel trailers, mobile homes or other similar structures, for more than 30 days (whether consecutive or non-consecutive during any one-year period) is strictly prohibited.
(B) Notice of violation. In the event any residential user violates this section, the town shall give written notice to the occupant of the premises for which such violation occurred, who shall be deemed the agent of the owner of the premises for the purpose of notice, by posting or affixing such written notice on the building or structure upon which the violation occurred, specifying the dates of infraction and advising of the Utility Department’s intention to terminate service on a date not less than 48 hours (exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) after the posting or affixing of such notice. Such notice shall also contain a statement to the effect that the owner or occupant may request a hearing before the Town Administrator within such 48-hour period and state the telephone number at the Town Hall where the Town Administrator may be contacted to request such a hearing.
(C) Procedure for termination.
(1) If the violation continues to occur after notice, and in the event no hearing before the Town Administrator has been requested, then water service to the premises may be terminated in accordance with the notice.
(2) If the owner or occupant requests a hearing and the Town Administrator determines that a violation has occurred, then water service to the premises may be terminated in accordance with the notice.
(3) If the occupant, after first notice, ceases violation of this section and within one year from the date of first notice resumes such violation for one day or more, then the occupant shall receive a second and final notice in accordance with division (B) above, and water service to the premises may be terminated with or without hearing (as determined by the Town Administrator) in accordance with the second notice.
(D) Restoration of service. A reconnection fee and deposit will be charged and collected prior to restoration of service. Rates for reconnection fees and deposits are established by the town’s Board of Trustees and are on file in the town offices for public use and inspection.
