Water furnished to any property for any purpose stands charged against such property regardless of change of ownership, and the Town Board reserves the right to discontinue the service from a premises for any unpaid bill or bills accumulated by a former owner or owners and to refuse to turn the same on again until all arrears and penalties are paid. In case of transfer of a property, the Water Department should be immediately notified so that proper adjustment may be made of any charges or repair bills against such property. In case the water is turned off by an agent of the Water Department for proper cause, no person shall turn it on again without permission from the Water Department.
Persons wishing to discontinue the use of water must give written notice thereof to the Town Clerk previous to the billing for the current period; otherwise they will be liable for rent for the ensuing three months. See § 26B-2A(13)(b) of Chapter 26B, Fees, for the fee.
The Town Board may discontinue water service and shut off the supply from any premises, the owner or occupant of which has failed to comply with the provisions of this chapter, or any ordinance or local law relating to the character and construction and maintenance of pipes and connections and the use of the water. Such service will not be resumed until the cause for such discontinuance is removed and the expense of shutting off and turning on the water is paid. See § 26B-2A(13)(b) of Chapter 26B, Fees, for the fee.
Editor's Note: The schedule of fees is now on file in the Town offices.
When the water supply to any premises is shut off by the direction of the Town Board, it shall not be turned on again without the permission of said Board. See § 26B-2A(13)(b) of Chapter 26B, Fees, for the fee.
All persons who hereafter make applications for water service or who continue the use of the water service after the taking effect of this chapter will be deemed to have assented thereto and to have agreed to conform to the provisions of said chapter and to pay the rates established.
