ORDINANCE NO. 46

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE DANA MUNICIPAL CODE OF 1993 BY AMENDING SECTION 92.04 TO PROVIDE FOR DISCONTINUANCE OF WATER SERVICE TO DELINQUENT WATER CUSTOMERS

Be it enacted by the City Council of Dana, Iowa:

SEC. 1. Section 92.04 of the Dana Municipal Code of 1993 is hereby repealed and new Section 92.04 is adopted in lieu thereof as follows:

Section 92.04 Water service to delinquent customers may be discontinued in accordance with the following: (Code of Iowa, Sec. 384.84)

1. Notice. The Clerk shall send to each delinquent customer a written notice by ordinary mail informing the delinquent customer of the nature of the delinquency and affording the customer the opportunity for a hearing prior to discontinuance of service. If the delinquent customer is a tenant of the premises, and if the owner or landlord of the premises has made a written request for notice, the notice shall also be given to the owner or landlord.

2. Service Discontinued. After the Notice(s) provided for above and after an opportunity for the delinquent customer or the owner or landlord to appear before the Council for a hearing, if the account remains delinquent, the Superintendent shall have the authority to discontinue water service to the premises by shutting off the supply of water to the delinquent customer.

3. Fees. A turn-on fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) shall be charged before service is restored to a delinquent customer. If the customer has not previously paid a deposit, then a fifty dollar ($50.00) deposit shall be required in addition to the turn-on fee. No turn-on fee or service fee shall be charged for the usual or customary trips in the regular changes in occupancies of property.

SEC. 2. Repealer. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed.

SEC. 3. Severability clause. If any section, provision or part of this ordinance shall be adjudged unconstitutional or invalid, such adjudication shall not affect the validity of the ordinance as a whole or any section, provision or part thereof not adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.

SEC. 4. When effective. This ordinance shall be in effect after its final passage, approval and publication as provided by law.

Passed by the Council the 17th day of August, 1994, and approved this 17th day of August, 1994.
