Sec. 86-54Relocation of city meters and equipment
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 city may change the location of facilities and rights-of-way upon customer's request, but the customer must bear the expense of the change; provided, however, no change will be made where it will interfere with or jeopardize city's service, either to the customer requesting the change or to any other customer(s). All privileges of the city incident to the original location shall apply to the new location. When a meter is relocated at the city's option, all expense in connection with such change shall be borne by the city. If the relocation is made at the customer's request, all expense will be borne by the customer.
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.
