B. Deposits. In the event an applicant requests five or more
water service installations (size three-quarter-inch service pipe with a
five-eighths-inch by three-quarter-inch meter or a one-inch service pipe with a
one-inch meter) in the same subdivision and such installations do not require
excavation of paved streets, the director of finance and budget or his designee
may accept a deposit equal to sixty percent of the charge set in subsection A of
this section as a deposit for each such installation; provided, however, that
the remainder of the charges shall be paid by the applicant prior to the
installation of a water meter by the city of Yakima on each such installation.
If the charges in subsection A of this section have increased at the time the
remainder of the charges are due, the applicant shall pay the director of
finance and budget or his designee the difference between the deposit paid and
the charges then in effect. (Ord. 97-16 § 5, 1997: Ord. 3260 § 1,
