§ 34-404. Deposit refunds and credits.

(a)

Refunds. Upon discontinuance of service pursuant to section 34.405.1(a)(1), the city will refund the balance of the customer's deposit to customer, after application of the deposit and any accrued interest to any unpaid bills for utility service furnished by the city.

(b)

Owner occupied premise credits. A customer may submit a written request to city for a credit of customer's deposit to their account if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(1)

The served premises are owner occupied;

(2)

The customer has paid 12 consecutive service billings without failure to pay a utility bill on more than two occasions;

(3)

The city has never discontinued customer's service for nonpayment of utility bills; and

(4)

Upon receipt of such a request, the city will first apply deposit amounts and any accrued interest to any unpaid bills for that customer's utility service furnished by the city, then credit the remaining deposit to customer's account.
