Sec. 86-60Requests to increase load
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.
Residential customers receiving service will be permitted to increase their residential gas loads at the same premises without the consent of the city. All other customers shall make a request to the city before increasing their gas loads and before changing the purpose for which they use gas. The request will be in writing and will specify, at a minimum, the name of the customer, type of service needed, estimated monthly gas consumption, and the date needed. If, in the city's sole opinion, it has the capability to provide the additional or changed gas service without interfering with its ability to provide service to its other customers, the city will permit the customer to increase customer's load or to change the purpose for which the customer uses gas. A CIAC may be required depending on the nature of the request.
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.
