(A) It shall be the duty of the Utility Clerk or his or her designee to cause any utility furnished to any person to be disconnected and discontinued without further notice, if such person shall fail, refuse or neglect to pay.
(B) (1) The Utility Clerk or his or her designee shall, at the time of making such disconnection and discontinuance, compute the amount due WPWA with the penalty thereon, and shall credit the account with any moneys, credit or deposit in the hands of WPWA deposited with any such persons as a meter deposit.
(2) If, therefore, any such person shall request WPWA to furnish him or her the public utility that has been discontinued or disconnected, before being connected with such public utility, such person shall pay all charges in arrears to WPWA for making such connection and shall deposit such additional sum as a meter deposit as is required by WPWA.
(3) After a customer has had discontinuance due to failure to pay and had deposits applied and the account closed out, the customer will be required to put up the amount of the regular stipulated deposit amount. If no attempt is made to bring the account current and restart service, the collections procedures in § 52.063 will apply.
