The application for water service is entitled "Certificate of Ownership and Authorization of Agent or Tenant," and is the authority by which all charges shall be made by the District for water service. This application is a written request for service and does not in itself bind the District to serve except under reasonable conditions, and in accordance with the Rules and Regulations. The District shall require that one such form be executed by the landowner for each separate account and/or parcel of property, except that more than one form may be required for each parcel where such a requirement serves the best interests of the District.

Industrial water users may be required to sign a contract, which specifically limits the amount of water discharged into District drains. The contract may also specify the water holding facilities required for the industry.

Temporary water users shall fill out an application for temporary water service. This application shall be the water users authority to remove water from the location specified and for the time period stated on the application.

The District will accept a "Certificate of Ownership" without further proof of ownership and will accept the certificate when made by a person acting on behalf of the owner; however, the District may require evidence of his authority to represent the landowner.

Where an owner uses the "Authorization of Agent or Tenant" section to designate his tenant as his agent, he will guarantee payment for all water service charges incurred by the tenant. Any changes of the terms of authorization as printed on the form will be disregarded by the District.

If the owner, or the District, requires that the designated tenant-agent make a cash deposit to guarantee payment of water service charges, the District will not deliver water on the order of the tenant-agent until the deposit is made. The District will not be responsible for sufficiency of the deposit required, and will hold the landowner responsible for payment of any unpaid water service charges in excess of the deposit.

Please refer to Regulation No. 3 Application for Service for a complete description.
