CHAPTER 19 (UTILITIES AND SERVICES)
SCHEDULE OF COSTS/FEES
Section 19-2. Utility deposit, service charge and transfer fee:
There is a minimum monthly base charge for water, sewer, reclaimed (if available), solid waste
and stormwater whether the residence or building is occupied or vacant based on services
available at that location.
To establish service you must provide a valid driver’s license or a valid Florida Identification
Card, social security number and one of the following: lease, deed or final settlement statement.
If a social security number is not provided and no previous credit history with the City then the
deposit is the maximum amount allowed.
If the deed or final settlement is provided by the seller of the property, the buyer will be
charged the maximum deposit and service charge. If the buyer provides a valid driver’s license
or a valid Florida Identification Card and social security number this will be used to determine
the amount of the deposit for the new owner.
It is the policy of the City to require a deposit for water, and sewer service as follows:
Residential Water & Sewer Service
Deposits are based on credit score as verified by the “On-Line Utility Exchange”:
Green Yellow Red
W - $0.00 $50.00 $100.00
Resolution 2023-R-15 11
S - $0.00 $50.00 $100.00
Definitions of green light, yellow light and red light are listed below:
Green Light – standard deposit waived. Based on the information provided, the applicant has a
good credit score and poses low credit risk.
Yellow Light - deposit required. Based on the information provided, the applicant has an
average credit score and poses moderate credit risk.
Red Light – maximum deposit required. Based on the information provided, the applicant has a
poor credit score or exchange hits and poses high credit risk.
Non-Residential Water Service
The security deposit for water accounts based on the various meter sizes offered is as follows:
3/4” $100.00 1” $125.00
1-1/2” $150.00 2” $175.00
3” $300.00 4” $500.00
Resolution 2023-R-15 12
Non-Residential Wastewater (Sewer) Service
The security deposit for wastewater accounts based on the various meter sizes offered is as
follows:
3/4” $100.00 1” $125.00
1-1/2” $150.00 2” $200.00
3” $400.00 4” $650.00
In the event only wastewater service is furnished by the City and no water services, the deposit
for the account will be determined by property use and the size of the meter typically used for
that property classification.
Additional Deposits
In the event the utility service is disconnected 2 or more times for non-payment or has received
2 or more returned checks within a 12 month period, or insufficient utility credit score, the
City will require a deposit(s) as outlined above.
Deposit Payments Residential Accounts
Owner occupied locations may be billed for the deposit(s) and will have 10 days to pay said
deposit(s). If the customer does not pay the deposit(s) within the 10 day period, utility services
will be subject to disconnection.
Tenant occupied locations are required to pay deposit in full at the time the account is
established.
An applicant for city water and sewer services will not be required to make a deposit when the
applicant meets one of the following conditions:
1) Has an existing account with good credit standing with the City. Discontinuance of
service for non-payment on an existing account will be treated as new applicants.
2) Any new customer establishing services will have their credit checked with their
social security number as verified by the “On-Line Utility Exchange” or any other provider of
similar services. The City will perform one credit check for each new account opened. Based
on the results, the customer may or may not be required to pay a deposit.
The City will not transfer a deposit from one individual to another individual. Transfers of
deposit(s) from one address to another address for the same individual will be made provided the
account balance at the active service location is in a current status (outstanding balance is zero).
If a customer transfers his or her deposit to an account within the system, the final bill on the old
account, if delinquent, will be transferred to the current account for collection and the current
account will then become subject to collections and disconnection procedures. Customers that
are continuously delinquent are subject to an update of their deposit requirements.
Non-Residential Accounts
1) The customer is required to pay the full deposit at the time the account is being
established.
2) Failure to comply with this requirement will result in discontinuance of service.
Resolution 2023-R-15 13
Refund of Deposits
The City will credit the deposit to the customer’s account when:
1) Residential accounts - The customer has had no delinquencies nor been disconnected for
non-payment in the previous 36 months;
2) Tenant accounts – deposits will be held until the account is closed;
3) Commercial accounts – deposits are held until the account is closed. The deposits are
refundable only to the customer whose name appears thereon.
Residential and Non-Residential Customer Deposit
Deposits are kept in a non-interest bearing account.
Records of Deposit
The City will keep records to show:
Name and address
Social Security / Federal Employer Identification Number
Email Account
Phone Number
Amount and date of deposit
Each transaction concerning deposit
The City will issue a receipt of deposit to each applicant from whom a deposit is received.
A record of each unclaimed deposit will be maintained and the City will make a reasonable effort
to return the deposit.
Section 19-6. Payment of bills; service charges:
Bills for the monthly fee for water, wastewater, reclaimed water, stormwater, refuse and/or
recycling services shall be payable as of the billing date
