All accounts shall be considered delinquent if not paid by the fifteenth of the month following for which service is rendered. All delinquent accounts are subject to stoppage of service without notice. If a delinquent account is not paid within thirty (30) days, the sanitation inspector shall cease all refuse collection for that account unless otherwise directed by the city council. Service shall be resumed thereafter only on payment of the accumulated fees for the period of collection. Stoppage of service hereunder for nonpayment shall be in addition to the right of the city or its contractor to proceed for the collection of such unpaid charges in a manner provided by law for the collection of amounts due and owing.
