The city shall not charge the monthly minimum rate to dwelling units or office or business spaces if the same are vacant for other than a temporary period and the water meter has been shut off at the request of the owner or occupant. (Res. 199 § 1, 1982).

The city shall not charge the monthly minimum water rate in those instances in which water meters have been installed for future use until such meters are actually put into use and water is being delivered. (Res. 199 § 2, 1982).

The city shall bill the minimum monthly water rate to vacationing owners or occupants who have requested the city to temporarily cease service. However, there shall be no additional charge added to the water bill for sewer or garbage service. (Res. 199 § 3, 1982).

The city, when requested to do so by the owner of vacant rental dwellings or business property, shall only bill the minimum water rate for said units, without any additional charges for sewer or garbage for a period of up to three months. Thereafter, unless the usual rate is reinstated by action of the owner, the city shall cease making any charge whatsoever until the property is again occupied, at which time the normal rates will again prevail and the owner shall be responsible to pay the applicable reconnection charge. (Res. 199 § 4, 1982).
