The Authority shall approve any request for a water tap and connection, a sewer tap on an existing line or a sewer tap on a new line and prior to granting this approval, the customer shall have paid the connection or tap charge as applicable. Additionally, a deposit shall serve as a guarantee for the payment of charges for utility service and other amounts owed in connection with the utility service. It shall be held in trust by the Authority. When a customer’s utility service is disconnected, the deposit or any part of such amount deposited which remains after all such charges and amounts due the Authority have been satisfied, shall be returned to the customer.
