[Ord. No. 18-035, 7-6-2022]
A. All
persons, public utilities, or public utility right-of-way users who
intend to undertake any of the following activities through, on, under,
across, or within a public right-of-way in any manner, shall first
secure a special use right-of-way permit issued by the City of Edgerton
Public Works Department pursuant to this Chapter.
1. Activities, include, but are not limited to: encroaching or excavating
on a public right-of-way, laying, locating, erecting, removing, installing,
constructing, maintaining, operating, or repairing poles, equipment,
facilities, devices, materials, apparatuses, or media of any kind,
for any purpose.
B. Except
in cases of emergencies, a public utility right-of-way user shall
not perform any activities upon, over, under or within the public
right-of-way without first having received a permit for such activity
upon submission of a written application for a public utility right-of-way
permit to the Public Works Director. The application shall be made
on forms provided by the Public Works Department.
[Ord. No. 18-012, 1-5-2020]
A. The
tenant or other occupant of any premises receiving utility services
from the City, together with the owner of said premises, shall be
jointly and severally liable to pay for such services rendered on
such premises and all penalties and deposits thereon assessed except
as limited and under such conditions as established below:
1. If the tenant or other occupant of the premises receives the billing,
when the tenant or other occupant is delinquent in payment for thirty
(30) days, the City shall make a good faith effort to notify the owner
of the premises receiving such service of the delinquency and the
amount thereof.
2. Any notice of termination of service shall be sent to the tenant
or other occupant and the owner of the premises receiving such service,
if such owner has requested, in writing, to receive any notice of
termination and has provided the entity rendering such service with
the owner's business address.
3. The provisions of this Section shall apply only to residences that
have individually metered City utility services. In instances where
several residences share a common utility meter or utilities connection,
the owner of the real property upon which the residences sit shall
be liable for utility expenses.
4. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to unapplied for utility
services. As used in this Subsection, "unapplied for utility services"
means services requiring application by the property owner and acceptance
of such application by the City prior to the establishment of an account.
In such case, the property owner will be billed directly for the services
provided and, as a result, any delinquent payment of a bill becomes
the responsibility of the property owner rather than another tenant
or occupant.
