Anderson Municipal Code Ch. 13.20 Refusal, Limitation or Discontinuance of Service

The manager may refuse to furnish water or may discontinue water service to any premises for the following reasons:

A. To protect the city or the water department, or both, from fraud and abuse;

B. The requested water service demand may be detrimental or injurious to the water service of other customers;

C. The distribution facilities are inadequate to supply the requested water service demand.

(Prior code § 23A.13)

The manager may limit the total quantity of water furnished to premises or may establish the times and the rates of draft at which water may be taken or will be furnished to premises, even though a limit or maximum use may or may not appear on the application or permit for the water service. In limiting water service, the manager shall be guided by but not restricted to:

A. The past seasonal water use at the premises;

B. The effect of current use on other customers;

C. The effect of current use on the water department facilities.

(Prior code § 23A.14)

Any person who desires to discontinue water service shall submit a request at the finance department not less than two days before the date on which discontinuance is desired. The request shall contain the date upon which water is to be discontinued and a forwarding address for the customer. Water service may be discontinued only on ordinary working days. After the effective date of discontinuance, all charges accruing cease for the period. No service may be discontinued for a period of less than thirty days.
