Sec. 86-12Non-assignability and transfer
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.
The customer's rights to service and rights provided under any service agreement with the city are personal and shall not be transferred or assigned by the customer without the written consent of the city, which the city, in its sole discretion, may refuse to grant. In the event that a transfer or assignment is granted, the city may establish a fee to transfer service from one customer to another provided a deposit remains on file with the city.
This is a plain-English guide, not legal advice. The official code is on Municode and at City Hall. Our copy is from April 30, 2026.
