Notice, in writing, delivered to the office
of the Village Clerk/Treasurer at least 10 days prior to termination
of service date, shall be required in all cases of applications for
discontinuance of water service; otherwise, the consumer shall be
liable for the minimum charge for the following 1/2 year.
In case a building is to be closed or become vacant, notice thereof shall be given to the Village in order that the meter may be read and the curb cock closed. The meter shall be removed and stored by the Village. Where such notice is not given and pipes burst from freezing or other cause, or where the meter is damaged or destroyed by any act of commission or omission of the owner, the value of the water lost by reason thereof, as estimated by the Village, together with the cost of repair of said meter and pipes, the deposit specified in § 91-16B and any additional sum set forth in the schedule of rates established pursuant to § 91-31, shall be paid prior to the installation of a new meter in said building.
[Amended 3-9-1982 by L.L. No. 2-1982; 1-8-2002 by L.L. No.
1-2002]
The Village may discontinue water service and
shut off the supply from any premises the owner or occupancy of which
has failed to comply with the provisions of this chapter relating
to the character or construction and maintenance of pipes and connections,
and the use of water. Such service will not be resumed until the cause
for such discontinuance is removed and the expense of shutting off
and turning on the water is paid to the Village Clerk/Treasurer. Fees
as established by the Board of Trustees will be charged to shut off
and to turn on the water to all water users, plus labor if the occurrence
is other than during normal working hours.
No person shall close or interfere with curb
cock except by the direction of the Village, nor shall it be turned
on without the permission of the Village.
