(d) Bills remaining unpaid following the due date stated on the bill shall be declared delinquent. The consumer will be immediately notified of such delinquency and unless the bill is paid within thirty days of the due date stated on the original bill, a twenty-four hour shut-off notice may be hand-delivered to the property, and service may be terminated the following day.
(e) Water service will be turned on only after payment in full of all delinquent charges, including penalties and turn-on charges.
