Sec. 35.
(a) Refunds shall be paid for a period of ten (10) years after the completion date of the main extension to the original depositor in proportion to the respective deposits, unless the original depositor for the main extension forfeited all rights to refunds, except subsequent connector's fees, as provided in section 32(a)(3) of this rule.
(b) However, no refunds shall be required to be made by the utility until the number of customers actually connected to the main extension equals the number of applicants for which an immediate revenue allowance was included in computing the total required deposit for the main extension. The refunds shall be paid annually or more frequently at regular intervals at the discretion of the utility.
(c) Total refunds to any original depositor shall not exceed the amount of the original deposit except in the case of a phased residential real estate development. In this situation the preliminary plat must be submitted to the utility at the time of the first request for a main extension. During the ten (10) year period beginning with the completion date of the first main extension, the amount of any refunds generated in excess of the deposit made on any phase of the development must be applied against the deposit made for any other phase of the development, so long as the total amount of refunds to the original depositor shall not at any time exceed the total amount of his deposits during the period. The utility shall not require any subsequent connector's fee which is in excess of the unrefunded balance of the aggregate of deposits received from all original depositors.
(d) The refund shall be made by mailing the payment to the original depositor's last known address as shown on the books and records of the utility. Any refund distribution which cannot be returned to an original depositor after the refund becomes due and payable must be reported as required by IC 32-9-1-42[Repealed by P.L. 31-1995, SECTION 9, effective July 1, 1996.].
