A. No reduction of charges will be made on partially vacant or vacant premises unless the director of finance has first been notified of such intended vacancy. No allowance will be made for a period of less than 30 days.

B. Service may be disconnected for periods of vacancy upon application to the director of finance and payment of disconnect and reconnect fees as established by the current fee resolution of the assembly.

C. Service may be reduced on partially vacant or vacant premises upon application to the director of finance and payment of administrative fees equivalent to disconnect and reconnect fees as established by resolution of the assembly. When such vacancy or partial vacancy occurs, the current rate for vacant premises, as set by resolution of the assembly, will be charged the property owner. The property owner will certify in writing that the premises are vacant and will indicate the length of vacancy anticipated. The property owner of vacant or partially vacant premises will be required to recertify in writing that the premises remains in a vacant status when the duration of such vacancy exceeds 180 days from the original certification or recertification. The property owner will notify the director of finance immediately when the premises are again occupied. If the premises are again occupied and the director of finance is not notified immediately, the account will be back-billed as if no vacancy occurred.
