(A) Each sewer customer, other than a property owner customer, shall, at the commencement of receiving service, pay a deposit to the city. This deposit shall be held to secure further payments as required. Said deposit shall be applied to outstanding balances in case of default, or shall be refunded, if unapplied, upon voluntary termination of service by the customer. Should there be an existing deposit held by the Simpsonville Sewer System, which has been unapplied to a delinquent bill and said deposit remaining is in an amount less than the amount of the deposit, then a customer seeking to restore the connection after disconnection shall be required to pay a sum to restore said deposit to the full required deposit amount prior to reconnection.
(B) Existing customers shall not be required to pay a deposit and shall be grandfathered. Provided, however, should any existing customer to which this section applies act in a manner so as to result in being placed on the cut-off list, then in order to be restored to service, shall be required to pay said deposit.
(C) Deposits required hereunto shall be as follows:
(1) For a residential rental: $100;
(2) For a manufacturing rental: $500;
(3) For a retail rental: $100;
(4) For a restaurant rental: $500.
