§ 79-26. Water for construction.  


Latest version.
  • A. 
    When water is required for use in connection with building construction, application shall be made to the District therefor. Where the owner of the premises is not the applicant, a deposit of such sum as the Superintendent of the District shall deem sufficient to pay for water to be used and charges attendant thereon shall be paid in advance to the District. Where, after installation and commencement of the use of water, in the opinion of the Superintendent, more water is used or will be used than is covered by the deposit, he may then require a further deposit, in default of which he may discontinue service when the amount of water charges and other District charge equals the amount of the deposit. After completion of the work, upon claim duly made therefor to the Town Board, any surplus of the deposit over and above the amount of the water charges and other expenses attendant thereon shall be refunded to the applicant. Charges for this purpose shall be the same as provided herein for permanent service, except that if the meter is returned to the District in good and serviceable condition, the cost thereof to the applicant will be refunded.
    B. 
    Installation, unless otherwise permitted by the District, shall conform to the rules and regulations herein provided for permanent service.
