§ 134-31. Discontinuing service by district.

A.

The District may suspend IQ Water service to any User due to violation(s) of any provision(s) of Collier County Ordinances, Federal, State, or District regulations or policies, or the User Agreement, for non-payment of fees and charges for delivery of IQ Water, for tampering with any service, for cross-connection with any other water source, or for any reason when the District finds that continuation of service has the immediate potential to be detrimental to the District's potable water, wastewater, or IQ Water utility systems, the environment, or the health, safety, and welfare of the public.

B.

If the violation may result in an immediate harm to persons or property, the District will cease and suspend service until the violating condition is corrected and all costs due to the District have been paid in full. These costs may include past due bills and penalties, connection charges, payment for any damage caused to the System, together with any charges established on the basis of the expenses incurred in the disconnection and restoration of service, which shall be non-discriminatory in its application. The User shall be provided written notice of violations to include what is required to return to compliance, and shall be provided a reasonable amount of time to cure the violation. Should suspended service be restored by the User without written authorization from the District, the District shall immediately remove the IQ Water service lines, and all associated additional charges for the District work will be borne by the User. Authorized service restoration is not guaranteed and will be made solely at the reasoned discretion of the District.

C.

Failure to enter into and maintain an executed User Agreement, including the acceptance of all amendments and modifications thereto with the District, will result in the discontinuance of IQ Water service.
