A. If service is to be abandoned, it shall be done at the main and all costs incident to the abandonment shall be borne by the property owners. Prior to any abandonment, an application shall be made to the utility to abandon the service, the utility shall issue a work order therefore, and a copy of the same shall be supplied to the utility clerk.

B. The city may consider a connection abandoned if the structure(s) on the premises served have been destroyed or demolished; or service discontinued for more than sixty months. If so abandoned, the utility shall disconnect the service at the main and bear the cost of the work.

C. Reconnection of an abandoned service shall be considered a new connection. (Ord. 653 § 1(part), 2004)
