§ 50.098  SECURITY DEPOSIT.
   (A)   If the sewer service supplied to a User has been discontinued for nonpayment of Sewer Rates and Charges, service shall not be reestablished until all delinquent Sewer Rates and Charges, time price differential, interest, penalties, and the turn-on charge has been paid. The Township may, as a condition to reconnecting said service, require that a sum equal to the User charge for the preceding 12 monthly billing periods be placed on deposit with the Township for the purpose of establishing or maintaining such User’s credit. Said deposit shall not be considered in lieu of any future billing for Sewer Rates and Charges.
   (B)   Upon the failure of the User to pay the Sewer Rates and Charges when due, the security deposit shall be applied by the Township against the unpaid balance, including time price differential, interest, and penalties. The User shall immediately make sufficient payment to the Township to reinstate with the Township the amount of the security deposit so advanced. Upon the failure of the User to do so within ten days of said advance, the penalties, rights, and remedies set forth in §§ 50.093 and 50.094 shall be applicable with respect to any unpaid Sewer Rates and Charges, including time price differential, interest, and penalties. The security deposit shall be held by the Township without interest and shall be returned to the User upon continued timely payments by the User of all Sewer Rates and Charges as and when due, for a minimum of 12 months.
