A Multiple Hookup is more than one dwelling unit being served from a single meter. Each dwelling unit which provides living accommodations such as eating, sleeping, sanitation provisions, cooking, etc, are required to have a membership as stated in paragraph 3.22 of the Montezuma Water Company Rules and Regulations. If the dwelling is occupied more than 120 days cumulative or consecutive in a calendar year it is not a Seasonal Dwelling Unit. Call the office for more details.
