(1) The applicant shall identify the utility services being requested and list all uses for those services on the application for service.

(2) If the applicant is not the owner of the premises, the written consent of the owner must accompany the application.

(3) The application may be for service to more than one building or more than one unit of service through one service connection. In such cases, additional charges may be made accordingly.

(b) If the application is approved, the Utility Department shall provide the services listed on the application.

(1) The applicant is responsible for providing infrastructure necessary to make the service connection from the curb stop or other such start of the service connection.

(2) There is a $40.00 fee for connection to the tribal utility system, either as a new consumer or to be reconnected after services have been shut off.

(c) If it appears that the service will not be adequate for the uses listed on the application, the Utility Department may reject the application. The Utility Department may also reject the application, if the person has an outstanding unpaid balance owed to the Tribe for previous or other tribal utility services or owed to the Tribe for housing services.
