Who pays a security deposit for water service?
Water security deposits are charged to offset liability for utility charges at an address. Any person/business requesting water service that is not the listed taxpayer must pay a water security deposit. All accounts out of city limits are required to provide a deposit. Out of city homeowners may request a refund of their deposit if they have a two-year record of timely payments and proof of ownership of the property. Accounts on the non-pay disconnection list are required to provide a deposit if one is not one file. Residential deposits are currently $75. Meters larger than the residential 5/8’ size require a deposit based upon meter size.
