Ordinance Standardizing the Reconnect Fee for Service Disconnections
WHEREAS, the recent upgrading of the Town's computer utility program has made it
necessary to consider a standard reconnect fee for in -town and out-of-town customers
whose utility service has been disconnected for non-payment; and,
WHEREAS, the Administration has concluded that standardizing the reconnect fee for
all customers will result in an increase in the efficiency of utility billing by eliminating the
manual adjustment of utility bills which is currently necessary to levy the higher
reconnect fee upon out-of-town customers whose service has been disconnected for
non-payment;
WHEREAS, a uniform reconnect fee will eliminate the need for these manual
adjustments by staff and allow reconnect fees to be processed automatically by the new
utility program;
THEREFORE, be it ORDAINED by the Town Council of the Town of Pulaski, Virginia
sitting in regular session this 4th day of August 2015, that the reconnect fee for
customers both in -Town and out -of -Town, whose utility service has been disconnected
for non-payment, shall be set at the standard charge of $40.00 (forty) dollars.
FURTHER ORDAINED, that the Town of Pulaski Schedule of Rates/Fees be amended
to reflect the changes in the reconnect fee as set forth in this ordinance.
This ordinance is effective upon adoption and is hereby adopted by the duly recorded
vote of the Town Council of the Town of Pulaski, Virginia sitting in regular session this
4th day of August 2015 as follows:
