    As the Property Owner, do you authorize current and future tenant(s) to establish service in their name?

84. Affidavit of Ownership*

    I / We acknowledge ownership of property located at the service address entered. I declare under penalty of perjury and possible immediate discontinuance of water service that I assumed or will assume ownership of said property upon closure of escrow (or through other legal acquisition) on the date I provided in this application. Further, I acknowledge that as the owner of the aforementioned property, I ultimately assume all responsibility for any bills, costs or fees associated with water service, regardless of user or use.

    1. I understand that checking this box constitutes a legal signature confirming that I acknowledge and agree to the above Affidavit of Ownership.
86. Responsibility for Payment of Water Bills*

    Property Owners are responsible for payment of water bills.

    By acknowledging this document, I certify I am the legal landowner or designee of the property identified as the service address above, all information is true and correct, and acknowledge and agree to all terms and conditions set forth below. I assume all responsibility for any bills, costs, loss, damage, penalties, charges, or fees associated with water service regardless of user or use.

    Owners may authorize tenants to establish service in their names; however, responsibility for the account remains with the Property Owner. The District, as a courtesy, may allow the Property Owner to authorize a Tenant to be billed for service. This courtesy is at the discretion of the District and as such, the District may transfer service from a Tenant back to the Property Owner and refuse to allow future service to be billed to a Tenant. In such circumstances, the Property Owner will receive all billing statements. CVWD may require Property Owners to pay any outstanding balances prior to a new Tenant establishing service. Upon termination of the tenant’s account, the account will automatically revert to the owner’s name.

    I understand all bills are due and payable within 15 days of billing. Bills not paid within 25 days of billing are assessed a 1.5% Late Charge. Bills not paid within 40 days of billing are assessed a $25 Delinquency Fee. I understand a $46 Account Establishment Fee will appear on my first bill.

    1. I acknowledge and agree to comply with all District Regulations, Ordinances, Policies and Rules, or amendments thereto.
