Brentwood Municipal Code Art. 7 Temporary Service

Upon application, the city, in its discretion, may authorize a temporary water use for construction or other limited purposes, under acceptable terms and conditions and if no undue hardship to existing customers will result. Temporary water use will be disconnected or terminated at the discretion of the city. Temporary water service typically is provided through a fire hydrant and requires an agreement to use a temporary fire hydrant meter. The customer will agree to return the fire hydrant meter within ten days of the termination of temporary water service.

(Ord. 918 § 2, 2013)

A person desiring temporary water service will submit an application for a temporary water permit following the procedures set forth in Chapter 3.26. The application must include a description of the location of and reasons for the temporary water service.

The temporary water permit application will include payment of a deposit as set forth in the cost allocation plan. The deposit will be retained by the city until the temporary meter is returned. Once the meter is returned, the deposit will be applied against outstanding charges and any remaining amount will be refunded to the customer. The deposit will be forfeited if the meter is not returned or if it is returned damaged.

Customers receiving a temporary water permit will also pay all other costs included in the cost allocation plan, together with all actual costs incurred by the city for installation of any required water facilities.

Hydrant meters rented for a period of longer than three months must be brought into the public works corporation yard on a quarterly basis for a meter reading. If the city grants a written extension allowing a temporary service connection for more than one year, the meter must be calibrated during one of the quarterly reads. If the meter is not brought into the public works corporation yard by the appropriate time designated, there will be a penalty to the customer as listed in the cost allocation plan and the meter must be returned immediately. The customer will pay all fees due before the meter can be re-issued.

(Ord. 918 § 2, 2013)

Temporary water service will be subject to a billing at the rate as set forth in the cost allocation plan.
