| Deposits |
Residential and commercial deposits are based on the size of the meter or connection installed. Deposits may be increased to an amount deemed necessary to properly protect the Sewerage and Water Board.
Deposits are payable within 21 days of the time an application is made to have water turned on or connected. These deposits will be refunded after two years of paying promptly or after service has been discontinued and all indebtedness has been paid. Otherwise, the deposit will be applied to the final bill. No refunds are given on hydrant meters. Delinquent final bills will be transferred to any new or other accounts of the customer.
The S&WB may waive a deposit for residential customers who have not been late with more than two payments in the last 12 months. In addition, the Board may refund a deposit for previous customers who have not been late with more than two payments over a two year period at the same address or who may have had deposits refunded at other addresses, also with good paying history. Interest earned on all deposits is factored into our public rates, helping to keep rates down; therefore, no interest is paid to customers on deposits.
