Latest version.
  • At the option of the Water Department, the water meter may be removed by the Water Department whenever water is cut off, either by request of the consumer or by the Water Department for nonpayment of charges, or for other reasons, and a service charge of twenty dollars ($20.00) plus sixty dollars ($60.00) for the actual costs of replacement shall be paid before water service is resumed. Any meter removed at the request of the consumer shall not discontinue billings for customer and capacity charges, and those charges may be billed retroactively for that service in a lump sum upon reinstallation of the meter.
