In all cases where water is to be used for construction or other
temporary purposes, the applicant shall, in addition to paying any
established charge for such connection, make a cash deposit with the

of the Village Manager and upon payment of all charges due and payable
by the customer.

by shutoff, whether permanently or temporarily, or subsequently wishing
