DIVISION 2. SEWER USE
Needs a look
With the wastewater plant a live issue, rules that don't control grease, industrial waste, and rainwater getting into the sewer can lead to overflows, permit problems, and higher costs for every ratepayer. See the fix
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter covers Ashburn's city-run water, sewer and natural gas service. It sets the rules on connection permits, deposits, meters, late penalties and shutoffs, disputing a bill, and the city's right to come on your property to read meters and fix lines. It also covers outdoor watering hours, what you can and can't put down the sewer, when you have to tie into city sewer, and how the gas system extends lines to new customers. The actual rates and deposit amounts aren't in the code. They're kept on file with the city clerk.
