Policy Bulletin 302 - Application for Service
Adopted 2007/12, Revised 2018/05
​
  1. The water User will make application for service, in person, at the office of the Corporation or at a place designated by the Corporation and at the same time make the payments required, on the forms provided by the Corporation.
  2. The Corporation may reject any application for service if: 1) service is not available under the standard rate (pasture taps, out of service area, etc.); 2) excessive service cost is involved; 3) the service may affect the supply of service to other water Users; or 4) for other good and sufficient reasons as determined by the Corporation and which shall be specified to the applicant.
  3. To be eligible to receive water on any land owned by the User, the water User must give an easement to the Corporation. Refusal to give the easement makes the water User ineligible for service and is grounds for rejection of the application.
  4. Applications for service to certain civic, religious and emergency organizations may be accepted and classified under the type of User which best defines their water use. Generally, these Users will be classified as "Livestock Users" and shall be subject to the same conditions, except water usage. Where a structure is involved, used for the purpose of a residence (by way of example; Church Parsonage), the application shall be considered as a Rural Household Hookup. Where said User is not adjacent to existing main pipelines, the hookup will be classified as a Rural Household Hookup. Where said User is located within a community served as Individual Municipal Households, the Hookup will be classified as an Individual Municipal Household. The following are allowed to be considered under this policy:
    1. Rural Church
    2. Rural Cemetery
    3. Rural Fire Hall
    4. Rural Civil Training Facilities (By way of example, Police Firing Range)
  5. The Corporation may reject any application for service when the applicant is delinquent in payment of bills incurred for service previously supplied at any location. When the premises of the owner have been served water, and have not paid for the service, the Corporation shall not be required to render service to anyone at said location where the water was used until said water bill has been paid or until satisfactory arrangements have been made.
  6. For violation of any of the provisions of these rules relating to application for service, the Corporation may, at the expiration of seven days after mailing a registered notice to the last known address of the water User, remove the meter and disconnect service.
  7. No person shall be considered for service whose Water User Connection Point is outside the service area until after completion of construction and then only provided adequate capacity exists.
  8. After project construction, additional applicants for service shall pay a non-refundable fee in the amount established in the Rate Schedule to cover engineering costs for determining feasibility and water availability.
