A. Approval And Payment Of Tap Charge; Deposit:
1. The City Administrator shall approve any request for a water tap and connection, a sewer tap on an existing line, or a sewer tap on a new line. Prior to granting approval by the City Administrator, the customer shall have paid the connection or tap charge as applicable and shall have made a utility deposit as set by ordinance or resolution of the City Council.
2. The deposit shall serve as a guarantee for the payment of charges for utility service and other amounts owed to the City in connection with the utility service. It shall be held in trust by the City for the benefit of the customer. When a customer's utility service is disconnected, the deposit, or any part of such amount deposited which remains after all such charges and amounts due the City have been satisfied, shall be returned to the customer.
3. Where the request for a water tap and connection, sewer tap on an existing line or on a new line shall be made by an existing customer of the City who has a favorable payment history with the City, the City Administrator may waive the utility deposit for such subsequent or additional tap and connection. (Ord. 402, 12-8-1992)
B. Fee For Reconnection Of Utility Service: A fee for reconnection of utility service where the service has been turned off or a meter has been disconnected by the City for any reason shall be set by the City Council. (1983 Code § 17-104)
