The following charge is a new charge that pertains to the replacement of lost or damaged Water Hauler or Septage Cards. 13) Lost/Damaged Water Hauler Card or Septage Card Utilities Kingston has not charged for the replacement of Water Hauler or Septage Cards in the past, however due to the increasing frequency and cost to replace the cards it is necessary to begin charging for replacement of lost or damaged cards. The charge of $100 shall be applicable for each replacement of either a Water Hauler or Septage Card. Committee of the Whole - January 20, 21 and 22 112
