Section 14: Water Reconnects

  1. When a customer's meter has been removed or water is shut off at a premises for nonpayment of water charges, or for any lawful or proper cause, it shall be against District regulations for such customer to again connect such premises with water until all arrearages have been paid, including a reconnect charge, and application made for reinstallation of meter, and other cause or causes corrected to the satisfaction of the District.
  2. Any customer receiving unmeasured or unauthorized water service is responsible for paying the full amount of said service reasonably determined by the District to have been unmetered or unauthorized due to meter tampering, alteration, or replacement.
  3. Meter Tampering charges will be added to the estimated billing for unmeasured or unauthorized service to cover the expense of District equipment restoration. In the event that the actual labor, materials, transportation, and overhead costs of such restoration exceed the designated charge, the customer shall pay actual costs.
