(a)

Meters will be removed and service discontinued upon request of the owner of the property served; or if any inactive service is unlikely to be used in the reasonably near future, as determined by the city, the meter may be removed.

(b)

Services one and one-half inches in diameter and smaller may be reactivated and the meter reinstalled upon proper application and payment of a reinstallation charge of twenty dollars; provided that the service pipe is at proper size and is good and in a usable condition. Services of two inches diameter and larger may be reinstalled upon proper application and payment of a reinstallation charge as determined by the city.

(c)

Service which has been discontinued as a result of a violation of any rule and regulation, or for delinquent payment of charges or penalties, shall not be reactivated until such violation has been remedied and all charges and penalties have been paid.

(d)

Any inactive or discontinued service which the city determines is unlikely to be used or is found to interfere with use of the public right-of-way or the facilities therein may, at the discretion of the city, be disconnected at the main and the service abandoned. Unusable and abandoned service lines shall not be reactivated and, upon any application for same, the full charges and conditions for a new installation shall apply.
