Legal Documents of Maryville

When theft of service is suspected, COMU personnel will visit the premises and evaluate the situation. If it appears a meter has been tampered with, Maryville Police Department will be notified. If the customer's meter has been tampered with the service will be disconnected and the account immediately closed. All past due, current due, applicable fees, additional deposits and tampering related costs must be paid or acceptable arrangements made before service will be reconnected. COMU reserves the right to refer all meter tampering and theft of service cases to the attorney general's office for possible prosecution under Tennessee law. Any theft of service fees adopted by COMU rate schedule will be applied to all accounts, as appropriate. (1999 Code, § 21-518, as replaced by Ord. #2025-05, May 2025 Ch1_12-2-25)
