(A) Properties with a separate water meter for the lawn sprinkler system will be billed monthly from April 1 through October 31 (May through November water bills). During the months of November through March (December through April water bills), the billing account associated with the lawn sprinkler system will be made inactive and no monthly bill will be charged. A reconnect fee, as adopted in the City's Master Fee Schedule, will be applied to the account annually and appear on the May water bill. Sewer fees will not be applied to lawn sprinkler system accounts.
(B) If a property owner with a separate water meter for the lawn sprinkler system desires to decommission said system in order to eliminate the monthly billing charges, the property owner may have a licensed contractor/plumber remove the lawn sprinkler system water supply line and meter. The City Water Operator shall supervise and inspect the work to confirm the water supply line has been completely removed. The water meter must be returned to the City. Once the line has been removed and the meter returned, the water billing account associated with the lawn sprinkler system on the property will be made inactive. Future reconnection of the lawn sprinkler system will require an appropriate building permit and the property owner shalt pay all reconnect fees or deposits required to make such connection.
