A property owner desiring a discontinuance of water service for any period of time shall so advise the Water Department, in writing, at least 48 hours in advance of the desired cutoff date.
A. 
Temporary discontinuance. When the request for discontinuance of service is for a temporary period of time not exceeding two years, the Water Department will shut off service at the curb cock, remove and store the water meter and reinstall the meter at such time as service is to be restored. The property owner shall advise the Water Department at least 48 hours in advance of the time requested for restoration of service. A fee for the temporary discontinuance shall be paid by the property owner. Such fee shall be established by the Board of Trustees. A temporary discontinuance extending beyond the two-year limit shall be deemed a request for permanent discontinuance, and the provisions of § A320-21B shall apply.
B. 
Permanent discontinuance. When the request for discontinuance is for the permanent abandonment of water service, the Water Department will shut off service at the corporation cock (the tap at the water main) and remove the water meter. The cost of all work performed by the Water Department for such permanent discontinuance shall be paid by the property owner. The reinstatement of water service to premises where such service had been permanently discontinued shall be treated as a new application for water service pursuant to § A320-4 of these Rules and Regulations.
