A. Advance payment of the charge for tap and tap branches two inches (2") and smaller shall be made by the property Owner. The schedule of tap and tap branch charges may be revised from time to time on the basis of the average costs, including overhead. Special conditions such as more than two-lane residential street crossings, downtown district, or conditions causing long or deep services may be performed on the basis of an estimate with a deposit of such estimated charge.
B. Missed appointments for tap inspections may result in service charges being levied against the Customer's account. Further, tap inspections that can not be completed due to failure of Customer to provide reasonable and safe access, no address on building, etc., or where conditions are not conducive to approval of the tap, such as services lacking locking ball valves, improperly stubbed lines, etc., may also result in service charges being accrued against Customer's account.
C. A tap fee, according to a schedule as determined by the Division of Water Distribution, shall be paid before services larger than two inches (2") are installed. In addition, a plan review and inspection fee, according to a schedule determined by the Division of Engineering Services, shall be paid prior to plans for services larger than two inches (2"), water main extensions, or fire lines are approved.
