The Director reserves the right, through authorized representatives, to enter onto the Premises at a reasonable hour of the day for the purpose of reading, designing, repairing, installing, re-installing, removing, terminating, maintaining and inspecting the Premises' connection to or impact on the Sanitary Sewer System, water system or Storm Water System, including, without limitation, the Meters or for any other purpose the Director deems necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of said systems, within the City's service territory.
Regular accounts generally provide water, storm water and sanitary sewer services, and may or may not provide garbage services. They are continuous. Generally, residential accounts are considered quarterly accounts, and commercial businesses are monthly accounts. An account is generally considered monthly when the water consumption is greater than 45,000 cubic feet per quarter for a period of four (4) quarters. The designation shall be determined by the Department and may change from time to time.
Customers who do not use water provided by the Department but are connected to the sewage treatment system are sanitary and storm sewer or storm water only accounts. Metering is by well meters or sewer meters.
A. The meters used for this service shall be purchased, maintained and tested by the Customer. The Department shall furnish and set the meter in a location determined by the Department at the Customers' expense. These meters must include a remote reading register or radio transmitter.
B. Sewer-only accounts are billed quarterly. The billing will be made at the same time that the water and sewer bills are due in the zone in which the Customer is located.
C. Until such time as a well meter is actually installed to measure water from the supplying structure, the Customer will be charged an estimated amount, determined by the size of the building, number of dwelling units and occupants.
D. Failure to comply with the requirement to install a meter within one (1) month after being duly notified of this requirement will result in billing at a rate no less than three (3) times the estimated average.
These accounts provide temporary use of water from fire hydrants for construction, demolition, filling pools, agricultural, and similar purposes. Customers are required to pay deposits on meters and wrenches, to return them as required and to comply with all applicable laws and these Rules and Regulations.
A. Customers who are not required to be connected to the sewage system are water-only accounts and are billed regularly for water consumption. Water-only accounts shall also include second accounts established for sprinkling purposes by Customers already served by a water/sewer account for domestic purposes. Such accounts may still be billed for other services, such as storm water and garbage.
B. Water-only accounts have replaced so-called "seasonal accounts." Customers shall be charged a minimum bill each billing period plus the volume charge for water consumed. When a water-only account is the second service for a structure, its meter shall be privately owned and must be connected in parallel with the first meter and located adjacent to it. The cost of the second meter, including any testing and/or repair charges, shall be paid by the Customer. Both meters must have remote-reading registers or radio transmitters. If the water-only service is used seasonally, winterizing it in the off-season shall be the responsibility of the Customer.
