[CC 1983 §110.160; Ord. No. 407 §110.160, 8-2-1990]
Upon disconnection of a user's water and/or sewer service, any and all amounts owed by the user to the City for the provision of such service shall become due and payable within thirty (30) days. The City, in the notice which sets forth the terms of reconnection of such service, shall indicate to the user that the user must pay the entire amount due the City for services in the billing period in which the disconnection took place, plus any past due amounts within thirty (30) days, or the Clerk shall direct that the amounts deposited by the user upon connection (listed in Section 710.090) to the utilities shall be apportioned to insure the payments of any amount due to the City from the user, plus a ten percent (10%) penalty on the total of such amount due to the City. If the user fails to pay the amount due within thirty (30) days of the disconnection, the Clerk shall apportion said deposits consistent with the provisions of this Section, and shall direct the return of any excess to the user, without interest. If the deposits are insufficient to pay the amount due to the City from the user, the City shall upon a final settlement of the user's account, demand a reasonable amount for expenses incurred in the collection of the user's account.

Editor's Note — Ord. no. 00-17, enacted August 17, 2000, repealed section 700.170, disconnection/ reconnection charge, in its entirety.

Reconnection charge is now covered in §700.120(3).
