SECOND AMENDMENT TO SERVICE CHARGE POLICY

 

(Suspension/Termination of Water Contracts)

 

In reviewing the aforementioned Policy, it was decided to afford a further privilege to our customers by making another amendment. Consequently, the following measures were implemented effective July 1, 2003:-

 

“Customers who have not used water for twelve (12) consecutive months and who have responded in writing to our termination notice, advising that they do not wish their contracts to be terminated as they intend to take water from us in the near future, will be allowed to retain their contracts for another twelve (12) months;

 

 

However, it should be noted that all such customers’ contracts will retain their suspension status for the additional period of twelve (12) months if water is still not taken.  In addition, the Service Charge will be applied for the first three (3) months of this additional period of inactivity and any other amount brought forward on account will still remain due and payable;

 

If after this period of twelve (12) months the customer is still inactive the contract will be terminated and no further extension granted.  This will prevent the ‘tying up’ of water rights for periods in excess of two (2) years.”

 

 

In the event that irrigation service is required in the future, the customer will be required to re-apply.
