How will notification of violations for water waste be handled?
A. A water customer may be issued a warning to ensure understanding of the rules and regulations. A written notice of violation will be personally served, posted on a structure on the property, or mailed by regular mail to the violator or the owner of the property. The penalty for the first violation is $100, $250 for the second, and $500 for the third violation. The penalty will be added to the violators utility bill for the property. If the third violation charge is not paid within five days following written notice of violation, the water service will be suspended. At all times, representatives of the City will attempt to talk to the owner of the property to discuss the cause of the violation and to offer information on how to correct the cause of the violation. Our primary goal is to have citizens help us save water.
