[Adopted 12-14-1998 as Title 9, Ch. 1, Art. B, of the 1998 Code]
Rates for the Village of Brandon Sewer and Water Utility shall
be those rates that are specified in the Utility's Rate File, as approved
by the State Public Service Commission. Current rate schedules are
on file at the office of the Village Clerk.
All persons now receiving a water supply from the Village of
Brandon Sewer and Water Utility, or who may hereafter make application
therefor, shall be considered as having agreed to be bound by the
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 Sewer and 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)
The premises has 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)
The premises has adequate piping beyond the metering point.
C.
The owner of a multiunit 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 the other units. Each meter and meter
connection will be a separate Sewer and 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 Utility 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 the Utility service has been disconnected at the customer's
request prior to expiration of his minimum contract period, a reconnection
charge shall be made, payable in advance, when the customer requests
reconnection of service. (See Schedule R-1 for applicable rate.[1]) The minimum contract period is renewed with each reconnection.
[1]
Editor's Note: Current rate schedules are on file with the
Village Clerk.
B.
A reconnection charge shall also 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 guarantee rules). (See Schedule R-1 for applicable
rate.)
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.
An applicant for temporary water supply on a metered basis shall
make and maintain a monetary deposit for each meter installed as security
for payment for use of water and for such other charges which may
arise from the use of the supply. A charge shall be made for setting
the valve and furnishing and setting the meter. See Schedule BW-1
for applicable rate.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Current rate schedules are on file with the
Village Clerk.
A.
When water is requested for construction purposes or for filling
tanks or other such uses, an application therefor shall be made to
the Utility, in writing, upon application provided for that purpose
in the Sewer and 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 Utility.
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 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.
A.
In cases where no other supply is available, permission may be granted
by the Utility to use a hydrant. No hydrant shall be used until it
is equipped with a sprinkling valve. In no case shall any valve be
moved except by a member of the Utility.
B.
Before a valve is set, payment must be made for its setting and for
the water to be used at the scheduled rates. Where applicable, see
Schedule BW-1 for deposits and charges.[1] Upon completing use of the hydrant, the customer must
notify the Utility to that effect.
[1]
Editor's Note: Current rate schedules are on file with the
Village Clerk.
C.
In the use of a hydrant supply, the hydrant valve will be set at
the proper opening by the Utility when the sprinkling valve is set,
and the flow of water must be regulated by means of the sprinkling
valve. If the water is to be used through iron pipe connections, all
such pipe installations shall have the swing joint to facilitate quick
disconnection from the fire hydrant.
Any persons who shall, without authority of the Utility, allow
contractors, masons, or other unauthorized persons to take water from
their 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 moneys 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 on 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 Utility. 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
and 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.
Where the original service piping is installed for a new metered
customer, where existing service piping is changed for the customer's
convenience, or where a new meter is installed for an existing unmetered
customer, the owner of the premises, at his expense, shall provide
a suitable location and the proper connections for the meter. The
Sewer and Water Utility 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 Utility (it 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 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 the
plumber from testing the 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 when approval is
obtained from the customer shall more than three consecutive estimated
bills be rendered where bills are rendered monthly, and there shall
be not more than two consecutive estimated bills where the billing
period is two months or more.
B.
If the meter is damaged (see § 448-28, 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.
See § PSC 185.77, Wis. Adm. Code.
See § PSC 185.88, Wis. Adm. Code.
The consumer shall protect the curb 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 curb stop box
and shut off the water in case of a leak on the owner'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 Utility. All piping within
the building must be supplied by the consumer. Where additional meters
are desired by the consumer, he shall pay for all piping and an additional
amount sufficient to cover the cost of maintenance and depreciation.
See Schedule Am-1 for applicable rate.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Current rate schedules are on file with the
Village Clerk.
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 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 the owner of the premises.
[Amended 10-11-2010]
A.
A property owner may request that a larger service lateral be installed
to replace an existing smaller diameter pipe, provided that the new
service is to be installed in the same ditch as the existing service
pipe. The property owner shall be responsible for all costs of the
lateral and reconstruction charges to the main.
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 stop to point of metering or use within such time as may appear
reasonable to the Utility after a written notification has been served
on the consumer by the Utility, the water will be shut off and not
be turned on again until the repairs have been made.
D.
If the Village finds an area of concern the Utility will give a written
notice. The property owner must cooperate with the Utility and give
the Utility advance notice of any excavating and allow the Utility
to test the line and give its written approval before closing the
trench.
See Ch. PSC 185, 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. Whenever appropriate, 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 guarantee 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 guarantee 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 Utility 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, the applicant may be required to make
a deposit or otherwise guarantee to the Utility payment of bills for
service.
D.
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 Utility. 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 Utility 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.
E.
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.
See § PSC 185.36, Wis. Adm. Code.
A.
The Utility may accept, in lieu of a cash deposit, a contract signed
by a guarantor satisfactory to the Utility, whereby payment of a specified
sum not exceeding the cash deposit requirement is guaranteed. The
term of a guarantee contract shall be two years but shall automatically
terminate after the customer has closed his/her account or at the
guarantor's request upon 30 days' written notice to the Utility.
B.
Upon termination of a guarantee contract or whenever the Utility
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.
C.
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.
D.
In lieu of a cash deposit or guarantee, 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 Utility
under a deferred payment agreement as provided in these rules and
regulations for the outstanding account balance.
A.
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:
B.
In the deferred payment agreement, it shall state immediately preceding
the space provided for the customer's signature and in bold face 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."
C.
A deferred payment agreement shall not include a finance charge.
D.
If an applicant for service has not fulfilled the terms of a deferred
payment agreement, the Utility shall have the right to disconnect
service or refuse service in accordance with these rules, and under
such circumstances it shall not be required to offer subsequent negotiation
of a deferred payment agreement prior to disconnection.
E.
Any payments made by the customer in compliance with a deferred payment
agreement, or otherwise, shall be first considered made in payment
of the previous account balance with any remainder credited to the
current bill.
A.
Disconnection.
(1)
Reasons for disconnection. Service may be disconnected or refused
for any of the following reasons:
(a)
Failure to pay a delinquent account or failure to comply with
the terms of a deferred payment agreement.
(b)
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.
(c)
Failure to comply with deposit or guarantee arrangements as
provided for in these rules and regulations.
(d)
Diversion of service around the meter.
(2)
Disconnection for delinquent accounts.
(a)
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.
(b)
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.
(c)
The Utility shall notify the County Health Department 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 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.[1]
B.
Dispute procedures.
(1)
Whenever the customer advises the Utility's designated office prior
to the disconnection of service that all or part of any billing as
rendered is in dispute, or that any matter related to the disconnection
is in dispute, the Utility shall investigate the dispute promptly
and completely, advise the customer of the results of the investigation,
attempt to resolve the dispute, and provide the opportunity for the
customer to enter into a deferred payment agreement, when applicable,
in order to settle the dispute.
(2)
After the customer has pursued the available remedies with the Utility,
the customer may request that the Public Service Commission's staff
informally review the disputed issue and recommend terms of settlement.
(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.
C.
Disconnection notice. The form of disconnection notice to be used
is as follows:[2]
|
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 the inconvenience of service interruption and an additional
charge of (amount) reconnection, we urge you to pay the full
arrears IMMEDIATELY AT ONE OF OUR OFFICES.
| ||
|
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 within
10 days.
| ||
|
If you have a reason for delaying the payment, call us and explain
the situation.
| ||
|
PLEASE CALL THIS TELEPHONE NUMBER, (appropriate telephone
number), IMMEDIATELY IF:
| ||
|
1.
|
You dispute the notice of delinquent account.
| |
|
2.
|
You have a question about your utility service arrears.
| |
|
3.
|
You are unable to pay the full amount of the bill and are willing
to enter into a time payment agreement with us.
| |
|
4.
|
There are any circumstances you think should be taken into consideration
before service is discontinued.
| |
|
5.
|
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 you are a residential customer and 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 proposed disconnection through contacts
with our utility, you may make an appeal to the Wisconsin Public Service
Commission, Madison, Wisconsin.
| ||
|
(UTILITY NAME)
| ||
An amount owed by the customer may be levied as a tax 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 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 premises are 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 Sewer and 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 of 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 Utility 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 light in such manner as will, so far as
possible, ensure the safety of the public.
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 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. No stop valve
shall be placed between the hot water tank and the relief valve or
on the drain pipe. (See applicable Village plumbing codes.)
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 rain
cock for water drainage and replenishment of air.
Water mains will be extended for new customers on the following
basis:
A.
Where the cost of the extension is to immediately be collected through
assessment against the abutting property, the procedure set forth
under § 66.0703, Wis. Stats., will apply, and no additional
customer contribution to the Utility will be required.
B.
Where the municipality is unwilling or unable to make a special assessment,
then extension will be made on a customer-financed basis as follows:
(1)
The applicant(s) will advance as a contribution in aid of construction the total amount equivalent to that which would have been assessed for all property under Subsection A.
(2)
Part of the contribution required in Subsection B(1) will be refundable. When additional customers are connected to the extended main within 20 years of the date of completion, contributions in aid of construction will be collected equal to the amount which would have been assessed under Subsection A for the abutting property being served. This amount will be refunded to the original contributor(s). In no case will the contributions received from additional customers exceed the proportionate amount which would have been required under Subsection A nor will it exceed the total assessable cost of the original extension.
[Amended 6-11-2007]
A.
Any customer of the Brandon Sewer and Water Utility will be allowed
a sewer usage credit once a year on the filling of a swimming pool.
The credit will be based on the sewer usage charge in place at the
time of the pool filling.
B.
The customer must notify the Department of Public Works before and
after the pool filling takes place. No credit will be given if this
procedure is not followed.
C.
The Department of Public Works will determine how the meter is to
be read.
D.
Swimming pool filling may be done from a hydrant, if the Department
of Public Works determines that a hydrant is available. There will
be an additional charge as set by the Village Board for this service.
[Amended 5-11-2015 by Ord. No. 2015-01]
E.
There is a time limit of three days for a pool fill.
[Added 7-13-2015 by Ord.
No. 2015-03]
