Legal Documents of White Pine

The consumer or property owner shall notify the town at the time each property becomes vacant. Otherwise, the consumer or property owner shall be responsible for any damage to the property of the town, and for all water metered to such property up until receipt of such vacancy notice.

The town will presume service is being rendered from the time water is turned on at the request of the consumer until the consumer or property owner gives it written notice to discontinue the service and charges will be made accordingly.

In the event that a customer requests that the water be turned off in order to make repairs during regular working hours a ten dollar ($10.00) fee will be charged; after hours the fee will be twenty dollars ($20.00). If bills are not paid by the 25th of each month, the town shall cut off the water and sewer to the consumer and shall charge a fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) during regular working hours (8:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M. EST) for cutting the water back on. This fee will also be charged if water is cut off for any other violation of these rules and regulations. If payment for a cut off is made after 4:00 P.M. the meter will not be turned back on until 8:00 A.M. the following day. (1978 Code, § 13-118, as amended by Ord. #4-01, July 2001, and Ord. #9-08, Aug. 2008)
