13.56.200 Disconnection of service—Reconnection—Service fee.
A. Except as authorized in subsection C, below, it is unlawful for any owner of any premises connected with the city's water supply to disconnect the water on said premises unless he or she first files in the office of the superintendent, on a printed form to be furnished for that purpose, a written request that the service of water to said premises be discontinued and pays all arrearages on water rates for said premises. When water has been shut off from any premises upon the application of the owner thereof, or for nonpayment of water charges, or for any other cause, it is unlawful for any person again to connect such premises with water without first applying for an account pursuant to Section 13.56.190.
B. Where the owner or occupant requests a service call to turn the water service on or off in order to make repairs or replacements of the service pipe between the city shut-off valve and the building supplied, a service repair fee shall be charged for service calls.
C. Owners of premises may install a private premise isolation valve as approved by the superintendent for the purpose of turning the water service on or off without making a service call or incurring a service repair fee. If a service call is required to assist in the operation of a private premise isolation valve a service repair fee will be charged.
