SERVICE AGREEMENT
I PURPOSE: The City of Anna is responsible for protecting the drinking water supply from contamination or pollution, which could result from improper plumbing practices. The purpose of this Service Agreement is to notify each customer of the plumbing standards and restrictions, which are in place to provide this protection. The City enforces these restrictions to protect the public health and welfare. Each customer must sign this Agreement before the City of Anna will begin utility service.

The inspection shall be conducted during the City’s normal business hours.

CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE
The State of Texas legislature passed HB 859 now codified in Texas Utility Code Sec. 182.052 relating to the confidentiality of certain information of the customers of a government-operated utility (such as the City of Anna). Confidential information includes a customer's name, address, phone number, social security number, and information relating to the customer's account including volume or units of utility usage or the amounts billed to or collected from the individual for utility usage. The law provides that a government-operated utility may not disclose such information contained in a customer's utility account records if the customer requests that the City keep the information confidential. The customer may request confidentiality by delivering to the City a written request to keep such information contained in the utility account confidential. Otherwise, a customer's personal information will NOT be considered confidential.

However, even though the customer may request their personal information remain confidential, the statute does NOT prohibit a government-operated utility from disclosing personal information in a customer's account records to:
(1) an official or employee of the state, a political subdivision of the state, or the federal government acting in an official capacity;
(2) an employee of a utility acting in connection with the employee's duties;
(3) a consumer reporting agency;
(4) a contractor or subcontractor approved by and providing services to the utility or to the state, a political subdivision of the state, the federal government, or an agency of the state or federal government;
(5) a person for whom the customer has contractually waived confidentiality for personal information; OR
(6) another entity that provides water, wastewater, sewer, gas, garbage, electricity, or drainage service for compensation.

If you hold an account as an individual, you have a right to request confidentiality of personal information contained in your utility account, such as name, address, telephone number, social security number, and information relating to the customer's account including volume or units of utility usage or the amounts billed to or collected from the individual for utility usage. If you do not specify your intent to keep your personal information confidential, this information will be subject to the open records provisions.
Please indicate your preference below:
1. I DESIRE for personal information on my utility account to be confidential, unless specifically exempted by state statute.
2. I DO NOT desire for personal information on my utility account to be confidential, thus causing this information to be subject to the open records provisions.
