Aqua’s Tariff, Section 6.23 – Transfer of Membership

Where Aqua has not disconnected water service, Aqua may transfer a membership to a new owner or purchaser under a contract for deed or any other applicable deed upon the member’s full payment of all amounts owed for water service, return of the membership certificate or completion of a Transfer of Membership form, and payment of the Membership Transfer Fee.  When Aqua transfers a membership, the former member does not receive a refund of the Membership Fee.  Aqua assigns all rights of membership to the new member.
