Guidelines for Application of Utility Service

Deposits are required for all accounts.

The following is a list of deposits for residential customers: 

• Owner - $150.00 (deposit-refundable) + $20.00 (activation fee-nonrefundable) total of $170.00 (Proof of ownership is required) 
• Renter - $200.00 (deposit-refundable) + $20.00 (activation fee-nonrefundable) total of $220.00 (Proof of lease/rental agreement required) 

The owner and renter deposits are refunded in two ways. The first way it is applied against the final bill when services have been canceled. The second is when you have completed an excellent pay history for two consecutive years, and you make a request in writing to have it applied to your water bill.
