Utility Service Application
Guidelines for Application of Utility Service
Deposits are required for all accounts.
The following is a list of deposits for residential customers:
- Owner - $90.00 (deposit-refundable) + $10.00 (activation fee-nonrefundable) total of $100.00 (Proof of ownership is required)
- Renter - $150.00 (deposit-refundable) + $10.00 (activation fee-nonrefundable) total of $160.00 (Proof of lease/rental agreement required)
- A 30 day clean up deposit is $30.00 (deposit-refundable) + $10.00 (activation fee-nonrefundable) total of $40.00 (Proof of ownership is 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 cancelled. 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.
The 30-day deposit is only for the 30-day period and at the end of those 30 days the service is cancelled and the $30.00 is applied to the final billing.
Commercial accounts need to contact a customer service representative at (817) 514-5705 for deposit information.
