§ 1710-040. APPLICATION FOR SERVICE

(a)

Applications for service shall be made to the County on forms provided by the Director.

(b)

New water and/or wastewater service customers shall deposit with the County an amount equal to one months anticipated charge for the service requested. The deposit shall secure the customer's payment of the charges incurred. Should the customer fail to pay any charge incurred within 45 days of the date on which payment is due, the County may elect to deduct such charges from the customer's security deposit and may thereafter demand that the customer pay an amount equal to the amount deducted to restore the deposit to the amount set forth above. Failure to pay that amount within 45 days thereafter shall be grounds for discontinuance of service in accordance with Section 1701-100(a) of this code. The unused portion of the security deposit shall be returned to the customer upon discontinuance of service. Customer shall not be entitled to any interest on the security deposit.

(c)

Applications for service shall require that all unpaid service charges incurred by the customer be paid in full prior to initiation or resumption of services.
