Chapter 13.40 WATER METERS
13.40.040 Water delivery prior to meter installation.
Before a permit for the use of water shall be issued where
meters cannot be conveniently used, the person applying for the same shall
deposit twenty dollars with the village treasurer as payment on account of water
to be used by him. On or before thirty days from the date of the permit, the
person to whom such permit is issued shall file with the water department a
statement in writing, verified by his affidavit, showing fully the purpose for
which the water was used by him for that time, and the amount and location of
all work done by him during the time in connection with which any water was used
or required. The superintendent shall ascertain from the statement, and any
other information, the amount due for water so used. If the amount so found to
be due, together with all other fees and costs chargeable against such person,
is less than the sum deposited, the surplus shall be paid back to the depositor.
If the amount due for water so used is more than the sum deposited, then the
excess shall be paid at once to the water department by such person. If such
person desires to continue to use water after he has filed his statement, he
shall again deposit twenty dollars with the superintendent and shall continue to
make deposits thereafter and in the same manner as is provided herein with
respect to the first deposit, and the method of determining the amount of water
used and the charge for the same shall be the same as the provisions respecting
the first deposit as hereinbefore provided. (Ord. 1979-6 § 67,
