SERVICE DEPOSITS
A service deposit of $100.00 shall be paid to the District by each applicant for wastewater service as a condition of service, including existing customers that establish service at a new address. Security deposits shall be held by the District to assure prompt payment of all charges for wastewater service.
At its option, the District may apply all or any part of a customer’s security deposit against any delinquent bill of the customer. Upon discontinuation of service, the deposit shall be applied against amounts due whether because of the customer’s delinquency or upon the customer’s request. Any portion of the deposit remaining after deduction of such amounts shall be refunded to the customer. In no event shall the security deposit bear interest for the benefit of the
customer.
A Service Deposit is required of any customer as a condition of restoration of service, regardless of payment history, if wastewater service has been discontinued for nonpayment.
RENTAL PROPERTIES
- Service may be established in the name of the owner of property or in the name of a tenant. If service is established in the name of the tenant as customer, each such tenant will be required to complete a new service agreement, pay a service deposit, and provide payment of all charges owing to the District for services rendered during the tenancy.
- In the event service is established in the name of the owner of property to be rented, the owner is required to make application for service and is responsible for all charges owing to the District. Under such circumstances, the owner is the customer of record and required to execute a service agreement and payment of a service deposit. Upon request of a property owner, the District will enter into a “Billing Agreement” with the owner pursuant to which the District will bill the tenant for sewer service, but the owner remains fully responsible for any and all unpaid bills by the tenant. In the event of the proposed termination of service for nonpayment by the tenant, the District will notify the owner of the renter’s past due payment status prior to disconnection of service (any owner will be responsible for payment of any notice fees adopted by the District). In the event of disconnection of service due to the tenant’s nonpayment, the owner will be responsible for all past due debt and payment of all charges required to re-establish service, including payment of any service deposit. The owner is responsible for obtaining from its tenants any deposits owner deems necessary to collect from a tenant to ensure payment of a past due bill.
