§ 78-48. Termination of contract.

An applicant for water service or sewer service may terminate the contract for such service at any time by giving notice in writing to the public services department and by paying all amounts due for services up to the date of receipt of such notice by the city. If notice is not given and the bills due for service are not paid, he shall continue to be liable for water consumed and sewer service rendered thereafter for the minimum monthly rate or charge, if no water is consumed or sewer service rendered, even though he may vacate the premises or the premises may be occupied by other parties who fail to make application for service and sign a contract. The public services department will not accept any notice as binding unless it is in writing. Persons giving notice verbally either in person or by telephone do so at their own risk.
