Dixon Municipal Code Art. VI Rates And Charges

Where an existing and adequate service connection and meter are properly connected to the City's distribution system, which is or has been legally servicing the premises for which a prior City connection permit has been issued, an applicant for water service from the City may use such service connection after the applicant submits an appropriate application to the City, pays a service fee as prescribed by resolution of the City Council and complies with all other regulations of the City. However, if the applicant is delinquent in any bills to the City, the applicant shall pay such bills in full prior to receiving City water service.

(Ord. 14-008 § 1)

Where the installation or enlargement of a main line, service connection or meter is necessary prior to the City's supplying service to an applicant for service, if the City has sufficient water supply and system capacity to supply water, the City shall accept the application. The City shall furnish the water service subsequent to the applicant's payment for construction, or construction, of the necessary portions of the City's distribution system. Water service shall be furnished provided the applicant has paid all fees to the City, complied with all City rules and regulations and paid in full all delinquent charges, if any, owed to the City.

(Ord. 14-008 § 1)

When the City installs a service connection or meter, the City shall collect the connection fees prescribed by resolution of the City Council from the applicant prior to the installation of service connections and meters, except for service under DMC § 14.02.710 for temporary water service. The installation of any service connection or meter which entails unusual conditions resulting in additional costs shall be installed on the basis of actual cost.

(Ord. 14-008 § 1)

Service charges shall be charged by user class, reflecting the different capacity and water volume requirements for each class. Each user in a class shall pay charges in two (2) parts:

A. A service charge based on the size of the water meter to be paid regardless of water use; and

B. A volume charge to be the result of the rate that applies to the customer based on the customer's volume of use for the premises during the applicable billing cycle.

(Ord. 14-008 § 1)

Charges for the services or facilities furnished by the City pursuant to this chapter shall be prescribed or revised from time to time by City Council resolution.
