Any property owner wishing to discontinue water service shall
give written notice at the Township Municipal Building or office of
the Township Water Superintendent. Charges for water supply will continue
until such notice is received by the Township and the Township authorizes
the water supply turned off at the curb stop and the date thereof
recorded. Said date shall be when charges to the consumer cease. In
no case will an abatement of an advanced-billed flat-rate charge be
taken into consideration for a shorter period than one month nor for
part of a month.
In case of the temporary vacancy of any premises, the water supply will be turned off by the Township upon written request of the owner or his authorized agent and payment of the applicable charge as provided in Article VIII. Upon written request to the Township, the water supply will be turned on for an additional charge as provided in Article VIII. Said request or orders must be in writing, but the temporary discontinuance of water upon request of the owner, or his authorized agent, shall not in any way impair, diminish or relieve said owner of the premises from complying with this chapter or any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Where water supply has been discontinued for any cause, the
date of physical disconnection shall be recorded by the Township Water
Superintendent, and the charges for water supply shall cease as of
that date. Where any water supply has been recorded as discontinued
and later found to be in use, the Township shall charge the owner
of the premises for the use of water from the time said supply was
recorded as discontinued, in addition to any arrears chargeable against
the premises or use.
