Demolition and Abandonment of Buildings in the Town of Bethel as it applies to the Utilities Department

Demolition:
Whenever a permit has been issued for the demolition of a building or buildings serviced by water from the Bethel Utilities Department, the customer shall terminate the water service or services at the water main at their expense. The service pipe shall be removed from the main with the corporations stop left closed and capped.

In cases where a building permit has been issued for a replacement structure and the building plans indicate the existing water service will be use for the replacement structure, the Utilities Department may upon the review of a site and building plans, allow for the service to be shut off at the curb. The customer will still be billed the minimum amount until a water meter is installed.

Abandonment:
Whenever a building is to be abandoned and utilities discontinued, the customer shall terminate the water service at the water main at their expense as described above.
