Any person requesting a utility account shall make application with the Water Division and pay a security deposit when required. Security deposit amounts shall be established by the Utilities Director and set forth on a schedule maintained by the Utilities Director. Such security deposit amounts shall be sufficient to secure the City from financial loss and based on customer credit history, when applicable. The Water Division shall return deposit amounts if service is discontinued or if customer credit history justifies return of deposit. The Utilities Director shall have the authority to apply deposits, with any accrued interest, towards unpaid utility accounts. (Ord. 20089 § 9, 10-17-17.)
