Section R14-2-605 - Service Connections

1. After an applicant has complied with the utility's application and deposit requirements and has been accepted for service by the utility, the utility shall schedule that customer for service connection.

2. Service connections shall be scheduled for completion within five working days of the date the customer has been accepted for service, except in those instances when the customer requests service connection beyond the five working day limitation.

3. When the utility has made arrangements to meet with a customer for service establishment purposes and the utility or the customer cannot make the appointment during the prearranged time, the utility shall reschedule the connection to the satisfaction of both parties.

4. For the purposes of this rule, establishment of service takes place only when the customer's facilities are ready and acceptable to the utility.

1. An applicant for service shall be responsible for the installation of all plumbing up to the applicant's property line. In addition, the applicant is responsible for the proper grade or leveling of the sewer connection so that it conforms with the collection system of the utility.

2. Funds collected for service connections may be nonrefundable contributions to the utility.

1. Each customer shall grant adequate easement and right-of-way satisfactory to the utility to ensure that customer's proper service connection. Failure on the part of the customer to grant adequate easement and right-of-way shall be grounds for the utility to refuse service.

2. When a utility discovers that a customer or his agent is performing work or has constructed facilities adjacent to or within an easement or right-of-way and such work, construction or facility poses a hazard or is in violation of federal, state or local laws, ordinances, statutes, rules or regulations, or significantly interferes with the utility's access to equipment, the utility shall notify the customer or his agent and shall take whatever actions are necessary to eliminate the hazard, obstruction or violation at the customer's expense.
