Customers who are unable to make payment according to § 50.17 may enter into written payment agreements with the town through the Utility Clerk to avoid having their utility service disconnected provided they do so at the Clerk-Treasurer's office no later than the twenty-eighth day of the month. In the event that an agreement is made, an electric load limiter will be installed at the service address for approximately 15 days or until the time the delinquent balance is paid in full, whichever occurs first. There will be a $40 fee for this service which must be collected before the agreement is signed. The delinquent balance must be paid in full no later than the fifteenth of the month following the date the agreement is signed. Failure to make any payment due under such agreement shall constitute a "default" and shall result in the customer's water and electric service being disconnected as provided in § 50.17 above. After a customer has defaulted on a payment agreement with the town, the Utility Clerk may not resume the payment agreement with said customer unless and until the customer has brought himself or herself into full compliance with the terms of said payment agreement by paying all amounts then due plus the disconnect fee in full. Any deviation from the above must be first approved by the Town Council at an open meeting.
