City Code Section
- The property owner or person responsible for the service may apply to the Portland Water Bureau to reactivate a curb service by paying the current service activation fee, listed in the Annual Rates Ordinance, to reinstall a meter on the service. The Portland Water Bureau may also require installation of a backflow prevention assembly prior to reactivating service. The existing pipe and connections may be used if the Portland Water Bureau determines them to be in sound condition and adequate for the intended use. If the piping or connection is found to no longer be fit for use and base charges have not been continuously paid, the property owner must pay for replacement of the existing piping.
- If service is desired at a different location than existing or if a larger pipe and connection are required, service installation must be per Section 21.12.060.
