Inasmuch as water service is a substantial and valuable benefit to land, a written
water service contract for any water service, which for the purposes of this section
includes fire protection service, shall be entered into by the owner of any real estate
upon original establishment of an account or promptly upon obtaining title to the
real estate or upon transfer of an existing account to a different account holder
or customer. Failure to sign and return the contract to the Cincinnati water works
within 30 calendar days thereafter may be cause for refusal or termination of water
service to the premises.
If service has been terminated under the provisions of this section, a reconnection
charge must be paid prior to restoration of water service. Service can then only be
restored by an authorized employee of the Cincinnati water works after the written
service contract has been duly filed at the department office. The Cincinnati water
works shall not be responsible for any inaccuracy in the water service contract due
to wrongful information given, or errors in receiving such information by telephone.
The account holder for each water supply service shall be the owner. For each water
supply service, the owner shall state the name and address to which statements of
account shall be mailed for payment. The party to whom the statements are mailed shall
be known as the "customer."
