Click the download button for an example of an Agreement for Cutting Off Water Supply Service Connections. Upon execution of this agreement, the meter is removed, the water line is sealed, and billing for services will cease to continue. The meter well, including lid and cover, will remain in place and intact. Any balance due on this account must be paid in full in addition to the $50.00 fee for this service. Should you later choose to have service restored, providing the meter well and all components within are undamaged and operational, costs would include: 1) a new meter; 2) installation labor costs, and 3) a 10% District operating overhead fee. To enter into this Agreement, please contact the Water District Office to begin the process. A sample Agreement can be viewed below.
