GENERAL NOTE:
In the event the customer orders a disconnection and reconnection of water at the same premise within a period of twelve (12) months, the BPU may collect as a reconnection charge the sum of such minimum bills as would have accrued during the period of disconnection.
Wherever water service is required outside the city limits, the customer shall construct his water line to the nearest water main. The rate schedule for this service shall be one and one half (1 ½) times the published rate.
In the interest of water conservation, indiscriminate waste of water by the customer will be grounds for temporary discontinuation of water service by the utility. It will be the customer’s responsibility to demonstrate corrective measures that will stop excessive waste of water resources.
