GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 51.001 DEPOSITS REQUIRED.
   Along with the application for utility service, an applicant who does not own the property where service is being requested shall be required to pay to the city a deposit as set by ordinance.
(1957 Rev. Ords., §§ 4.502, 14.203; 1992 Code, § 41-33) (Ord. 1488, passed 7-6-1959; Ord. 2150, passed 9-4-1962; Ord. 95-89, passed 9-11-1989; Ord. 102-96, passed 9-3-1996)
§ 51.002 REFUND OF DEPOSIT.
   (a)   Upon application of the depositor, refunds of deposits made for utility service may be made after two years or upon the termination of utility service after payment of all indebtedness to the city for utility service.
   (b)   Upon request of the depositor, the city may refund the deposit under the following conditions:
      (1)   The depositor has not been assessed more than three late fees within the past 24 months;
      (2)   The depositor has not been issued a final notice before termination within the past 24 months;
      (3)   The depositor has not had the utility service terminated within the past 36 months; and
      (4)   The depositor has not issued a dishonored check within the past 36 months.
(1992 Code, § 41-34) (Ord. 42-77, passed 5-31-1977; Ord. 132-98, passed 12-7-1998)
§ 51.003 EFFECT OF TRANSFER, MOVING.
   There shall be no transfer, or so-called transfer, from one location to another of deposits made for utility service and in each case the transfer shall be considered a new application for service and shall be treated as such. When premises are vacated, any amounts due for water service shall be paid in full and utility service shall not be commenced at another place until this is done. The removal from one place to another shall be considered as a new request for utility service and applicants shall be required to make the current deposit that shall be in effect at the time the request is made.
(1992 Code, § 41-35)
§ 51.004 DETERMINATION OF CHARGES.
   The rates and charges for the consumption of utility services furnished by the city, as well as the charges and fees for connection thereto, shall be as determined by the manager as set by an ordinance.
