The provisions of this section apply to water accounts that were established prior
to July 1, 2012. As used in this section the term water account or water service includes
the city's fees for water service, sewer service and storm water maintenance fees
that are added to the city's combined water bill. Whenever any individual, commercial
or industrial establishment desires the use of water on premises owned or leased by
them within the city limits, where all connections have been made in accordance with
the provisions of this chapter, they shall make application therefor to the utilities
customer service office, accompanying each application with a fee of $15.00 for turning
on and/or transferring the account. Multi-unit facilities will require the owner,
landlord, or property management agent to make application to the billings and collections
division-utility billing customer service office of the department of financial services
to activate water at a service address. Whenever any person applying for water service
shall have complied with this requirement and his water fixtures are in good condition,
the utilities customer service office shall then cause the water to be turned on.
