WATER COMPANIES
How to Make Application for
Water Service
When you move into a new house-whether owned by you or rented-the first requirement necessary is Water Service.
It is no trouble to get this service. You may come to the office and personally sign for meter connection- you may write your request for water-or if in the con- fusion of moving, it is not convenient to write or call, a telephone message will bring one of our service men to you at any time and place desired.
It is our desire to make it easy and convenient for you to get water service. Our Order Department is in- structed to comply promptly with every reasonable request.
If you are a new comer to this community and have not previously paid water bills for a year and do not own your own home, you will be asked to make a de- posit of $2.50, which will be returned to you after one year with interest at 6%. If, however, you are a prop- erty owner, or have previously been prompt in paying water bills for a period of one year, no deposit will be asked.
The Water Company is anxious to serve you in every possible way, and the development of this broad policy of handling orders is part of the service to you.
