The charge for various classes of water users shall be pursuant
to the current Public Service Commission rate order, a copy of which
is on file with the Village Clerk-Treasurer.
All persons now receiving a water supply from the Village of
Webster Water Utility or who may hereafter make application therefor
shall be considered as having agreed to be bound by rules and regulations
as filed with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin.
A. Application for water service shall be made in writing on a form
furnished by the Water Utility. The application will contain the legal
description of the property to be served, name of the owner, the exact
use to be made of the service and the size of the supply pipe and
meter desired. (Note particularly any special refrigeration and/or
air-conditioning water-consuming appliances.)
B. Service will be furnished only if:
(1) Premises have a frontage on a properly platted street or public strip
in which a cast-iron or other long-life water main has been laid or
where the property owner has agreed to and complied with the provisions
of the utility's filed main extension rule;
(2) The property owner has installed or agrees to install a service pipe
from the curbline to the point of use and laid not less than six feet
below the surface of an established or proposed grade and according
to the utility's specification; and
(3) Premises have adequate piping beyond metering point.
C. The owner of the multi-unit dwelling has the option of being served
by individual metered water service to each unit. The owner, by selecting
this option, is required to provide interior plumbing and meter settings
to enable individual metered service to each unit and individual disconnection
without affecting service to other units. Each meter and meter connection
will be a separate Water Utility customer for the purpose of the filed
rules and regulations.
D. No division of the water service of any lot or parcel of land shall
be made for the extension and independent meterage of the supply to
an adjoining lot or parcel of land. No division of a water supply
service shall be made at the curb for separate supplies therefrom
for two or more separate premises having frontage on any street or
public service strip whether owned by the same or different parties.
E. The Director of Public Works is hereby empowered to withhold approval
of any application wherein full information of the purpose of such
supply is not clearly indicated and set forth by the applicant property
owner.
A. The minimum service contract period shall be one year unless otherwise
specified by special contract or in the applicable rate schedule.
Where a customer, at his request, has been disconnected (meter removed)
prior to expiration of his minimum contract period and his account
is not delinquent, and where thereafter he requests the reconnection
of service in the same or other location, a reconnection charge payable
in advance shall be collected. The minimum contract period is renewed
with each reconnection.
B. A reconnection charge shall be required from consumers whose services
are disconnected (shut off at curb stop) because of nonpayment of
bills when due (not including disconnection for failure to comply
with deposit or guaranty rules).
C. A consumer shall be considered as the same consumer, provided the
reconnection is requested for the same location by any member of the
same family or, if a place of business, by any partner or employee
of the same business.
A. When water is requested for construction purposes or for filling
tanks or other such uses, an application therefor shall be made to
the Director of Public Works, in writing, upon application provided
for that purpose in the Water Utility office, giving a statement of
the amount of construction work to be done, or the size of the tank
to be filled, etc. Payment for the water for construction shall be
made in advance at the scheduled rates. The service pipe must be installed
inside the building from where the water must be drawn. No connection
with the service pipe at the curb shall be made without special permission
from the Director of Public Works.
B. In no case will any employee of the utility turn on water for construction
work unless the contractor first presents a permit. Upon completion
of the construction work, the contractor must return the original
permit to the Water Utility, together with a statement of the actual
amount of construction work performed.
C. Consumers shall not allow contractors, masons or other persons to
take water from their premises without first showing a permit from
the utility. Any consumer failing to comply with this provision will
have water service discontinued.
Any person who shall, without authority of the Director of Public
Works, allow contractors, masons or other unauthorized persons to
take water from his/her premises, operate any valve connected with
the street or supply mains or open any fire hydrant connected with
the distribution system, except for the purpose of extinguishing fire,
or who shall wantonly damage or impair the same shall be subject to
a fine as provided by municipal ordinances. Permits for the use of
hydrants apply only to such hydrants as are designated for the specific
use.
All monies deposited as security for payment of charges arising
from the use of temporary water supply on a metered basis, or for
the return of a sprinkling valve wheel or reducer if the water is
used on an unmetered basis, will be refunded to the depositor upon
the termination of the use of water, the payment of all charges levied
against the depositor and the return of the wheel and reducer.
A. No water service shall be laid through any trench having cinders,
rubbish, rock or gravel fill or any other material which may cause
injury to or disintegration of the service pipe, unless adequate means
of protection are provided by sand filling or such other insulation
as may be approved by the Director of Public Works. Service pipes
passing through curb or retaining walls shall be adequately safeguarded
by provision of a channel space or pipe casing not less than twice
the diameter of the service connection. The space between the service
pipe and channel or pipe casing shall be filled and lightly caulked
with an oakum, mastic cement or other resilient material and made
impervious to moisture.
B. In backfilling the pipe trench, the service pipe must be protected
against injury by carefully hand tamping the ground filling, free
from hard lumps, rocks, stones or other injurious material, around
at least six inches over the pipe.
C. All water supplies shall be of undiminished size from the street
main in to the point of meter placement. Beyond the meter outlet valve
the piping shall be sized and proportioned to provide, on all floors,
at all times, an equitable distribution of water supply for the greatest
probable number of fixtures or appliances operating simultaneously.
A. In cases where a new customer whose service is to be metered installs
the original service piping or where an existing metered customer
changes his service piping for his own convenience, or where an existing
flat-rate customer requests to be metered, the customer shall, at
his expense, provide a suitable location and the proper connections
for the meter. The Director of Public Works should be consulted as
to the type and size of meter setting. Where it is possible to set
meters in the basement, or other suitable place within the building,
a short nipple shall be inserted after the stop and waste cock, then
a union, and then another nipple and coupling of the proper length.
The nipple attached to the union and coupling shall be cut to a standard
length provided by the plans of the Director of Public Works (he/she
may require a horizontal run of 18 inches in such pipe line.), which
may later be removed for the insertion of the meter into the supply
line.
B. No permit will be given to change from the metered to flat-rate service.
The water cannot be turned on for a consumer except by a duly
authorized employee of the utility. When a plumber has completed a
job, he must leave the water turned off. This does not prevent him
from testing his work.
A. Where the utility is unable to read a meter after two successive
attempts, the fact will be plainly indicated on the bill, and either
an estimated bill will be computed or the minimum charge applied.
The difference shall be adjusted when the meter is again read, that
is, the bill for the succeeding quarter will be computed with the
gallons or cubic feet in each block of the rate schedule doubled and
credit will be given on that bill for the amount of the minimum bill
paid the preceding month. Only in unusual cases or where approval
is obtained from the customer shall more than two consecutive estimated
bills be rendered.
B. If the meter is damaged (see surreptitious use of water) or fails
to operate, the bill will be based on the average use during the past
year unless there is some reason why the use is not normal. If the
average use cannot be properly employed, the bill will be estimated
by some equitable method.
If a customer requests it, the utility shall promptly make an
accuracy test in addition to the periodic or installation test if
24 months or more have elapsed since the last complaint test of the
same meter in the same location. If fewer than 24 months have expired,
there will be a charge as established by the Village Board, payable
in advance. If the meter is found fast in excess of 2%, any payment
that was made for the test will be refunded and there will be an adjustment
for past billings. (See §§ PSC 185.61 through 185.78,
Wis. Adm. Code.)
See § PSC 185.89, Wis. Adm. Code.
The consumer shall protect the stop box in the terrace and shall
keep the same free from dirt and other obstructions. The utility shall
not be liable for failure to locate the stop box and shut off the
water in case of a leak on the consumer's premises.
Meters will be furnished and placed by the utility and are not
to be disconnected or tampered with by the consumer. All meters shall
be so located that they shall be protected from obstructions and permit
ready access thereto for reading, inspection and servicing, such location
to be designated or approved by the Director of Public Works. All
piping within the building must be supplied by the consumer. Where
additional meters are desired by the consumer, he/she shall pay for
all piping and an additional amount sufficient to cover the cost of
maintenance and depreciation, but not less than $0.25 per month.
A. Meters will be repaired by the Water Utility, and the cost of such
repairs caused by ordinary wear and tear will be borne by the utility.
B. Repair of any damage to a meter resulting from the carelessness of
the owner of the premises, his agent or tenant or from the negligence
of any one of them to properly secure and protect the same, including
any damage that may result from allowing a water meter to become frozen
or to be injured from the presence of hot water or steam in the meter,
shall be paid for by the consumer or owner of the premises.
A. Where the property owner requests that a larger service lateral be
installed to replace an existing smaller-diameter pipe, an allowance
of $15 will be made as a reduction in the cost, provided the new service
is to be installed in the same ditch as the existing service pipe.
B. The service pipe from the main to and through the curb stop will
be maintained and kept in repair and, when worn out, replaced at the
expense of the utility. The property owner shall maintain the service
pipe from the curb stop to the point of use.
C. If a consumer fails to repair a leaking or broken service pipe from
curb to point of metering or use within such time as may appear reasonable
to the Director of Public Works, the water will be shut off and not
be turned on again until the repairs have been completed.
See § PSC 185.35(6), Wis. Adm. Code.
During reasonable hours, any officer or authorized employee
of the utility shall have the right of access to the premises supplied
with service for the purpose of inspection or for the enforcement
of the utility's rules and regulations. At least once every 12 months
the utility will make a systematic inspection of all unmetered water
taps for the purpose of checking waste and unnecessary use of water.
A. New residential service. The utility may require a cash deposit or
other guaranty as a condition of new residential service if, and only
if, the customer has an outstanding account balance with the utility
which accrued within the last six years and which at the time of the
request for new service remains outstanding and not in dispute.
B. Existing residential service. The utility may require a cash deposit
or other guaranty as a condition of continued service if, and only
if, either or both the following circumstances apply:
(1) Service has been shut off or discontinued within the last 12 months
for violation of these rules and regulations or for nonpayment of
a delinquent bill for service which is not in dispute.
(2) Credit information obtained by the company subsequent to the initial
application indicates that the initial application for service was
falsified or incomplete to the extent that a deposit would be required
under these rules and regulations.
C. Commercial and industrial service. If the credit for an applicant
for commercial or industrial service has not been established to the
satisfaction of the utility, he may be required to make a deposit
or otherwise guarantee to the utility payment of bills for service.
D. Conditions of deposit. See § PSC 185.36(4), Wis. Adm. Code.
E. Refund of deposits. The utility shall review the payment record of
each residential customer with a deposit on file at not less than
twelve-month intervals and shall not require or continue to require
a deposit unless a deposit could be required under the conditions
stated above. In the case of a commercial or industrial customer,
the utility shall refund the deposit after 24 consecutive months of
prompt payment if the customer's credit standing is satisfactory to
the company. Payment shall be considered "prompt" if it is made prior
to notice of disconnection for nonpayment of a bill not in dispute.
Any deposit or portion thereof refunded to a customer shall be refunded
by check unless both the customer and the company agree to credit
the regular bill or unless service is terminated, in which case the
deposit with accrued interest shall be applied to the final bill and
any balance returned to the customer promptly.
F. Other conditions. A new or additional deposit may be required upon
reasonable written notice of the need therefor if such new or additional
deposit could have been required under the circumstances when the
initial deposit was made. Service may be refused or disconnected for
failure to pay a deposit request as provided in the rules. When service
has been disconnected for failure to make a deposit or for failure
to pay a delinquent bill or for failure to comply with the terms of
a deferred payment agreement and satisfactory arrangements have been
made to have service restored, a reconnection charge as specified
elsewhere in these rules shall be paid by the customer as a condition
to restoration of service.
G. Guaranty contracts.
(1) The utility may accept, in lieu of a cash deposit, a contract signed
by a guarantor satisfactory to the company whereby payment of a specified
sum not exceeding the cash deposit requirement is guaranteed. The
term of a guaranty contract shall be two years but shall automatically
terminate after the customer has closed his account or at the guarantor's
request upon 30 days' written notice to the utility.
(2) Upon termination of a guaranty contract or whenever the company deems
the same insufficient as to amount or surety, a cash deposit or a
new or additional guarantee may be required upon reasonable written
notice to the customer. Service to any customer who fails to comply
with these requirements may be refused or, upon eight days' written
notice, disconnected.
(3) The utility shall mail the guarantor copies of all disconnect notices
sent to the customer whose account he has guaranteed unless the guarantor
waives such notice in writing.
(4) In lieu of a cash deposit or guaranty, an applicant for new service
who has an outstanding account accrued within the last six years with
the utility shall have the right to receive service from the company
under a deferred payment agreement as provided in these rules and
regulations for the outstanding account balance.
A. Reasons for disconnection. Service may be disconnected or refused
for any of the following reasons:
(1) Failure to pay a delinquent account or failure to comply with the
terms of a deferred payment agreement.
(2) Violation of the utility's rules and regulations pertaining to the
use of service in a manner which interferes with the service of others
or to the operation of nonstandard equipment, if the customer has
first been notified and provided with reasonable opportunity to remedy
the situation.
(3) Failure to comply with deposit or guaranty arrangements as provided
for in these rules and regulations.
(4) Diversion of service around the meter.
B. Disconnection for delinquent accounts.
(1) A bill for service is delinquent if unpaid after the due date shown
on the bill. The utility may disconnect service for a delinquent bill
by giving the customer, at least eight calendar days prior to disconnection,
a written disconnect notice which may be included with the bill for
service. For purposes of this rule, the due date shall not be less
than 20 days after issuance.
(2) The utility may disconnect without notice where a dangerous condition
exists for as long as the condition exists. Service may be denied
to any customer for failure to comply with the applicable requirements
of the rules and regulations of the Public Service Commission or of
these rules and regulations or if a dangerous or unsafe condition
exists on the customer's premises.
(3) The utility shall notify the Burnett County Department of Health
and Social Services at least five calendar days prior to any scheduled
disconnection of residential service if the customer or responsible
person has made a written request for this procedure. The utility
shall apprise customers of this right upon application for service.
If service to a residential customer which has been disconnected has
not been restored within 24 hours after disconnection, the utility
shall notify the Burnett County Sheriff's Department of the billing
name and service address and that a threat to health and life might
exist to persons occupying the premises.
C. Deferred payment agreement.
(1) The utility shall offer deferred payment agreements to residential
customers. The deferred payment agreement shall provide that service
will not be discontinued for the outstanding bill if the customer
pays a stated reasonable amount of the outstanding bill and agrees
to pay a stated reasonable portion of the remaining outstanding balance
in installments until the bill is paid. In determining what amounts
are "reasonable," the parties shall consider the:
(a)
Size of the delinquent account.
(b)
Customer's ability to pay.
(c)
Customer's payment history.
(d)
Time that the debt has been outstanding.
(e)
Reasons why the debt has been outstanding.
(f)
Any other relevant factors concerning the circumstances of the
customer.
(2) In the deferred payment agreement, it shall state, immediately preceding
the space provided for the customer's signature and in boldface print
at least two sizes larger than any other used thereon, the following:
If you are not satisfied with this agreement, do not sign. If
you do sign this agreement you give up your right to dispute the amount
due under the agreement except for the utility's failure or refusal
to follow the terms of this agreement.
(3) Any party to the dispute, after informal review, may make a written
request for a formal review by the Commission. If the Commission decides
to conduct a formal hearing on the dispute, the customer must pay
50% of the bill in dispute or post a bond for that amount on or before
the hearing date. Failure to pay the amount or post the bond will
constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing. Service shall not be
disconnected because of any disputed matter while the disputed matter
is being pursued under the disputes procedure. In no way does this
relieve the customer from the obligation of paying charges which are
not disputed.
(4) The form of disconnection notice to be used is as follows:
Disconnection Notice
|
Dear Customer:
|
The bill enclosed with this notice includes your current charge
for utility service and your previous unpaid balance.
|
You have 10 days to pay the utility service arrears or your
service is subject to disconnection. If you fail to pay the service
arrears, or fail to contact us within the 10 days allowed to make
reasonable time payment arrangements, we will proceed with disconnection
action. To avoid inconvenience of service interruption and an additional
charge of $40 reconnection and $60 after normal business hours, we
urge you to pay the full arrears immediately at our office.
|
If you have entered into a deferred payment agreement with us
and have failed to make the time payment you agreed to, your service
will be subject to disconnection unless you pay the amount due in
10 days.
|
If you have a reason for delaying the payment, call us and explain
the situation. Please call telephone number (715) 866-4211 immediately
if:
|
1. You have a question about your utility service arrears.
|
2. You are unable to pay the full amount of the bill and are
willing to enter into a time payment agreement with us.
|
3. There are any circumstances you think should be taken into
consideration before service is discontinued.
|
4. Any resident is seriously ill.
|
Illness Provision
|
If there is an existing medical emergency in your home and you
furnish the utility with a statement signed by either a licensed Wisconsin
physician or a public health official, we will delay disconnection
of service up to 21 days. The statement must identify the medical
emergency and specify the period of time during which disconnection
will aggravate the existing emergency.
|
Deferred Payment Agreements
|
If, for some reason, you are unable to pay the full amount of
the utility service arrears on your bill, you may contact the utility
to discuss arrangements to pay the arrears over an extended period
of time. This time payment agreement will require:
|
1. Payment of a reasonable amount at the time the agreement
is made.
|
2. Payment of the remainder of the outstanding balance in monthly
installments over a reasonable length of time.
|
3. Payment of all future utility service bills in full by the
due date.
|
In any situation where you are unable to resolve billing disputes
or disputes about the grounds for purposed disconnection through contacts
with our utility, you may make an appeal to the Wisconsin Public Service
Commission, Madison, Wisconsin.
|
Webster Municipal Utility.
|
(5) In the event the utility is not able to collect any bill for water
service even though deposit and guaranty rules are on file, the bill
may be put upon the tax roll as provided in § 66.0809, Wis.
Stats.
A. When the utility has reasonable evidence that a consumer is obtaining
his supply of water, in whole or in part, by means of devices or methods
used to stop or interfere with the proper metering of the utility
service being delivered to his/her equipment, the utility reserves
the right to estimate and present immediately a bill for service unmetered
as a result of such interference, and such bill shall be payable subject
to a twenty-four-hour disconnection of service. When the utility shall
have disconnected the consumer for any such reason, the utility will
reconnect the consumer upon the following conditions:
(1) The consumer will be required to deposit with the utility an amount
sufficient to guarantee the payment of the consumer's bills for utility
service to the utility.
(2) The consumer will be required to pay the utility for any and all
damages to its equipment on the consumer's premises due to such stoppage
or interference with its metering.
(3) The consumer must further agree to comply with reasonable requirements
to protect the utility against further losses.
B. Sections 98.26 and 943.20, Wis. Stats., as relating to water service,
are hereby adopted and made a part of these rules.
When a premises is to be vacated, the utility shall be notified,
in writing, at once, so that it may remove the meter and shut off
the supply at the curb cock. The owner of the premises shall be liable
to prosecution for any damage to the property of the Water Utility
by reason of failure to notify the utility of vacancy.
The utility reserves the right to shut off the water in the
mains temporarily to make repairs, alterations or additions to the
plant or system. When the circumstances will permit a sufficient delay,
the company will give notification, by newspaper publication or otherwise,
of the discontinuance of the supply. No rebate will be allowed to
consumers for such temporary suspension of supply.
It shall be the duty of the Director of Public Works to see
that all open ditches for water mains, hydrants and service pipes
are properly guarded to prevent accident to any person or vehicle,
and at night there shall be displayed amber signal lights in such
manner as will, so far as possible, ensure the safety of the public.
A. Where excavating machines are used in digging sewers, all water mains
shall be maintained at the expense of the contractor.
B. Contractors must ascertain for themselves the existence and location
of all service pipes. Where they are removed, cut or damaged in the
construction of a sewer, the contractor must at his own expense cause
them to be replaced or repaired at once. He must not shut off the
water service pipes from any consumer for a period exceeding six hours.
Trenches in unpaved streets shall be refilled with moist, damp
earth or by means of water tamping. When water tamping is used, the
water shall be turned into the trench after the first 12 inches of
backfill has been placed and then the trench shall be kept flooded
until the remainder of the backfill has been put in.
A. Protective devices in general. The owner or occupant of every premises
receiving water supply shall apply and maintain suitable means of
protection of the premises' supply, and all appliances thereof, against
damage arising in any manner from the use of the water supply, variation
of water pressure or any interruption of water supply. Particularly,
such owner or occupant must protect water-cooled compressors for refrigeration
systems by means of high-pressure safety cutout devices. There shall
likewise be provided means for the prevention of the transmission
of water ram or noise of operation of any valve or appliance through
the piping of his/her own or adjacent premises.
B. Relief valves. On all closed systems (i.e., systems having a check
valve, pressure regulator or reducing valve, water filter or softener)
an effective pressure-relief valve shall be installed either in the
top tapping or the upper side tapping of the hot water tank or on
the hot water distributing pipe connection at the tank. A one-half-inch
drainpipe shall be connected to the relief valve for discharge on
the floor or into a sink or open drain through an air gap. No stop
valve shall be placed between the hot water tank and the relief valve
or on the drainpipe.
C. Air chambers. An air chamber or approved shock absorber shall be
installed at the terminus of each riser, fixture branch or hydraulic
elevator main for the prevention of undue water hammer. The air chamber
shall have a diameter not less than that of the pipe it serves and
a length not less than 15 diameters of said supply pipe. Where possible,
the air chamber should be provided at its base with a valve and drain
cock for water drainage and replenishment of air.
[Amended 9-9-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-01]
A. Definition of "cross-connection." A "cross-connection" is defined
as any physical connection or arrangement between two otherwise separate
systems, one of which contains potable water from the Village of Webster's
public water system, and the other of which contains water from a
private source, water of unknown or questionable safety, or steam,
gases, or chemicals, whereby there may be a flow from one system to
the other, with the direction of flow depending on the pressure differential
between the two systems.
B. Unprotected cross-connections prohibited. No person, firm, or corporation
may establish or maintain, or permit to be established or maintained,
any unprotected cross-connection. Cross-connections shall be protected
as required in Ch. SPS 382, Wis. Adm. Code.
C. Inspection. The water utility may inspect, or arrange for an inspection of, property served by the public water system for cross-connections. As an alternative, the water utility may require a person, firm, or corporation who owns, leases, or occupies property to have their plumbing inspected, at their own expense, by a State of Wisconsin certified cross-connection inspector/surveyor. The frequency of inspections shall be established by the water utility in accordance with the Wis. Adm. Code. Any unprotected cross-connections identified by the inspection shall be promptly corrected. Failure to promptly correct an unprotected cross-connection shall be sufficient cause for the water utility to discontinue water service to the property, as provided under Subsection
F of this section.
D. Right of entry. Upon presentation of credentials, a representative of the water utility shall have the right to request entry, at any reasonable time, to a property served by a connection to the public water system for the purpose of inspecting the property for cross-connections. Refusing entry to such utility representative shall be sufficient cause for the water utility to discontinue water service to the property, as provided under Subsection
F of this section. If entry is refused, a special inspection warrant under § 66.0119, Wis. Stats., may be obtained.
E. Provision of requested information. The water utility may request an owner, lessee, or occupant of property served by a connection to the public water system to furnish the water utility with pertinent information regarding the piping systems on the property. Refusing to provide requested information shall be sufficient cause for the water utility to discontinue water service to the property, as provided under Subsection
F of this section.
F. Discontinuation of water for violation. The water utility may discontinue water service to any property wherein any unprotected connection in violation of this section exists and take other precautionary measures deemed necessary to eliminate any danger of contamination of the public water system. Water service may be discontinued, however, only after reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing under Ch. 68, Wis. Stats., except as provided in Subsection
G of this section. Water service to such property shall not be restored until the unprotected cross-connection has been eliminated.
G. Emergency discontinuance. If it is determined by the water utility
that an unprotected cross-connection or emergency endangers public
health, safety, or welfare, and requires immediate action, and if
a written finding to that effect is filed with the Village Clerk and
delivered to the customer's premises, water service may be immediately
discontinued. The customer shall have an opportunity for hearing under
Ch. 68, Wis. Stats., within 10 days of such emergency discontinuance.
Water service to such property shall not be restored until the unprotected
cross-connection has been eliminated.
A. Application for installation of water mains in regularly platted
real estate development subdivisions shall be filed with the Clerk-Treasurer
and shall set forth the following information:
(3) Map showing streets, lots and sizes of proposed mains and hydrants
and street laterals.
(4) Date of approval of subdivision plan by State Department of Development.
(5) Date of approval of proposed mains by State Department of Natural
Resources.
(6) Number of houses presently under construction.
B. Upon receipt of the application, the Water Utility will prepare detailed
estimates of the cost of extending water mains and hydrants of the
size deemed necessary in the subdivision and submit the same to the
municipal governing body for approval of the extension as it pertains
to public fire-protection service requirements.
C. The applicant for water service to be supplied to a subdivision shall
be required to advance to the utility, prior to the beginning of the
construction, the total estimated cost of the extension. If the final
costs exceed estimated costs, an additional billing will be made for
the balance of the cost due. The balance is to be paid within 30 days.
If final costs are less than estimated, a refund of overpayment will
be made by the Water Utility.
D. If the developer, or a contractor employed by the developer, is to
install the water mains (with approval of the utility), the developer
shall be responsible for the total cost of construction.
