No water shall be turned on, furnished, or supplied for use on or in any premises
until a written application, using the form provided by the City of Georgetown, has
been made for that purpose, and filed with the city clerk of the city. Each such application
shall state the purposes for which the water is to be used. Each such application
shall be accompanied by an authentic, clear, and legible form of photo identification
for the applicant. If the applicant is not the owner in fee simple of the record title
to the property where the applicant desires the water turned on, he or she shall deposit
with the application the sum of one hundred fifty dollars which must be received before
water shall be turned on for the premises. Such deposit shall be held by the city
as security for the payment of water and/or wastewater services used by the applicant,
and may be so applied if the applicant defaults on any water and/or wastewater bill
payment. An applicant who is not the owner in fee simple of the record title to the
subject property shall also be required to sign a consent form provided by the City
of Georgetown, authorizing the city to share information with, and seek payment from,
the property owner if the applicant defaults on any water bill payment.
