Kingdom City Services, to Whom Provided ordinance (§ 700.230)

Chapter 700: Water Regulations · Article VI. Provisions Relevant To All Utilities

In short: Utility service goes only to the property owner, the business owner, or a tenant with a lease or the owner's written consent; applicants must be at least 18 with ID. No service if a household member has an unpaid bill (unpaid after 60 days). Debts of $500 or less must be paid within 90 days, larger ones within 6 months, in equal monthly payments, or service is disconnected.

Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.

A. Utility services shall be provided only to:

1. The property owner.

2. The owner of the business located at the property.

3. A tenant if the tenant has a lease or written consent from the property owner.

4. Services shall not be provided to anyone whose immediate household includes a member who has an unpaid bill. An individual must be at least eighteen (18) years old to apply for service and must present proof of identification.

5. Services will not be denied to any person based on age (if over eighteen (18)), race, gender, nationality, or sexual preference.

6. Any person having an unpaid bill with the Village shall not obtain utilities service by means of misrepresentation or by making application in the name of another family member or household member. If any person should obtain services in this manner, then the past bill shall become due and payable immediately, and the balance due shall be added to the customer's next monthly utility bill. An unpaid bill is any account of ineptness owed to the Village for utility services that has not been paid or satisfied within sixty (60) days. If it is found that any person having an unpaid bill moves to a residence receiving services, a letter shall be sent with a payment plan. The plan shall state that payment arrangements on delinquent accounts five hundred dollars ($500.00) or less shall be paid in full within ninety (90) days and over five hundred dollars ($500.00) shall be paid in full within six (6) months from the date of the letter. Payments shall be made in equal amounts every month. If a payment is missed, services shall be disconnected at the current residence.
