I understand that I am entering into a contract for utility service with City of Grand Junction, and understand that all persons, firms, or corporations having connections within the City's water, sewer, and irrigation system shall pay any applicable monthly usage and service charges. I also understand that sanitation charges are billed monthly on the utility bill and that all billings are due before the date indicated on each billing to avoid penalties.
I agree to make no claims against City of Grand Junction for damage on account of the stoppage of the flow of water resulting from an accidental shut-off by City of Grand Junction, when stoppage is necessary to make alterations, repairs or improvements by City of Grand Junction or its agents, representatives, and/or contractors or due to an emergency. I shall keep all plumbing fixtures on the premises in good repair, shall promptly stop all leaks from such plumbing fixtures, and shall conserve water in time of water shortage. By using this Site, you agree to be bound by, and to comply with, these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, please do not use this site.
I agree to exercise reasonable diligence to protect the City's property on the premises. No one, but the City's agent or persons authorized by law, shall knowingly have access to the City's utility facilities or property, including and not limited to all components of the meter pit and the meter. In the event of any loss or damage to the City's property caused by or arising out of my carelessness, neglect, or misuse, the cost of making good such loss or repairing such damage shall be paid by the party named in the application.
I agree to abide by City of Grand Junction cross connection control ordinance (13.24).
I agree that if the bills or charges submitted by City of Grand Junction are not paid by the service interruption date of the following month, the water service will be terminated (13.08.110). The following provisions regarding non-payment will be applied as part of this contract:
I understand that any payments returned as insufficient, which were applied to utility accounts, will be charged back to the account and will result in water disconnection if the charges due are not paid within the allotted time after notification. A returned item charge and a service charge may also be assessed.
I understand that if I have an amount due on a payment arrangement and my account is inactivated, such as a move out transaction, the payment arrangement and past due amount will be due immediately.
I, the customer, agree to give notice to City of Grand Junction when a change of occupancy takes place on any premises supplied by the City with water, wastewater, stormwater, and/or sanitation service. Notice thereof shall be given not less than three days prior to the date of change by the outgoing customer. The outgoing customer shall be held responsible for all services rendered on such premises until such notice is so received by City of Grand Junction and City of Grand Junction has had reasonable time to discontinue the water and wastewater service. However, if such notice has not been received, the application of such a succeeding occupant for water, wastewater, irrigation or sanitation service will automatically terminate the prior account. Notwithstanding the above, the City will accept telephone orders, for the convenience of its customers, to discontinue water, wastewater, irrigation and/or sanitation service and will use all reasonable diligence in the execution thereof.
I hereby give City of Grand Junction authorization to obtain identity verification and acknowledge a $15.00 application fee will be assessed for new service.
I have read and understand the Terms and Conditions of receiving utility service from City of Grand Junction and agree to abide by the same. I hereby affirm and verify under penalty of law that I am the individual named in the application.
