(A) Every person desiring a supply of water must make application upon a form obtained from the City Clerk. A new applicant shall be required to accompany his or her application with a service deposit which shall be set from time to time by resolution of the City Council and which is addressed more thoroughly in § 52.094.
(B) An existing consumer with an account in good standing may transfer his or her water service to a new address upon completion of a new application and a new contract without any additional fee. For the purpose of this section, an ACCOUNT IN GOOD STANDING shall mean that a consumer has, for a period of at least one year, made all payments due to the Water Department on or before the due date.
(C) An existing consumer with an account not in good standing may transfer his or her water service to a new address upon completion of a new application, a new contract and the payment of a new service deposit. For the purpose of this section, an ACCOUNT NOT IN GOOD STANDING shall mean that a consumer has been delinquent on one or more payments due to the Water Department within the previous one-year period.
(D) The Department shall not supply water service to any person outside the corporate limits without special permission from the City Council; provided, that the entire cost of laying mains, service pipe and supply pipe shall be paid by the consumer. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the city to provide water service to nonresidents.
