Section 78-171, Water and Sewer Deposits.
Commercial security deposits are based on historical average consumption using not less than 12 consecutive months of data, computed using the current North Richland Hills water and wastewater rates. The required deposit will be two times the average monthly bill. If no recent historical data is available, the deposit will be taken from the following schedule. Residential customers will use the deposits established in the following schedule. If a residential or commercial customer seeks to re-establish service and there is evidence of nonpayment on a prior account or if an account is disconnected for nonpayment three times within a 12-month period, a deposit in an amount equal to double the deposit established in the following schedule is required to activate or continue service. If a Multi-family (Apartment/Trailer Park) is disconnected at any time for nonpayment, a security deposit of twice the customer's highest bill shall be required as a condition of reconnection.
