Water Service
10.01.050 Application for Water Service
Any person who desires or is required to secure water service when such service is available from the municipal water system, shall file with the water department a written application and agreement for the service (Form Number 34).
10.01.060 Non-Owner Applicants – Agreement of the Owner
Applications for water service made by the tenant of an owner must in addition to the above requirements be guaranteed by an agreement signed by the owner of the premises or his duly authorized agent (Form Number 36). Irrespective of the occupant, user, tenant, co-tenant, permissive user, or any other person, firm, partnership, corporation or entity being in possession of the premises to which a connection is supplied or service made available, the owner of the premises according to the records of the Beaver County Recorder shall be legally responsible for the payment of all charges, fees assessments and any other payment of all charges, fees, assessments and any other obligation or liability of a user. If any delinquent water connection, water user charge, repairs, maintenance or any other obligation is imposed against any premises, property, buildings or structures, the obligation shall be deemed by Milford City as an obligation of the owner of the real property on which any use is made from a water connection.
Water service to delinquent property shall be turned off by the City for failure to pay any and all water fees, assessments, charges or liability and will not be turned on again to those premises where a delinquency occurs unless and until all liabilities to the City for water service are paid in full.
10.01.140 Unauthorized Users
It shall be unlawful for any water service user to permit any person from other premises or any unauthorized person to use or obtain water services regularly from his premises or water facilities, either outside or inside his premises.
10.01.260 Water Meters
5. Meters may be checked, inspected or adjusted at the discretion of the municipality, and they shall not be adjusted or tampered with by the customer. Meter boxes shall not be opened for the purpose of turning on or off the water except by an authorized representative of the municipality unless special permission is given by the municipality through its representatives to the customer to do so.
Failure to comply with the ordinances set forth by the City Council may result in the City of Milford charging unauthorized users with Theft of Services, which is punishable by law.
