The city administrator, or his designee, is authorized to install a metered terminal for dispensing of water for bulk sale at the public works building, located at 1000 East Ashley Street. Said terminal shall include appropriate backflow protection and be constructed to enable year-round, all-weather operation.

(f)

Any customer making late payments in any three or more consecutive months may be required to post a deposit, in an amount determined by the city administrator or his designee, before receiving additional water. Any customer having an unpaid balance exceeding 90 days outstanding shall not be eligible to receive additional water.
