(A) Billings. All stormwater service bills shall be rendered on a monthly basis, along with the stormwter utility user’s charges for other town utility services.
(B) Terms of payment. The stormwater utility user fee shall be due on the payment date set out for the town utility bill. It shall be a violation of this chapter to fail to pay a stormwater service bill when due. All bills for storm water services not paid on or before the due date, which due date shall be approximately 15 days after the bill is rendered, shall be subject to a collection or deferred payment charge equal to 10% of the outstanding balance.
(C) Collection. Delinquent stormwater utility user fees may be collected in a civil action along with other delinquent town utility charges by the town, and the town shall be permitted to collect its reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs.
(D) Backbilling.
(1) Failure to receive a bill is not justification for nonpayment. The owner of each parcel of land is obligated and required to pay a storm water utility user fee as set forth by the terms and provisions of this chapter, as amended.
(2) In the event that a parcel is under-billed or in the event that no bill is issued to the owner or owners of parcels of land in the town, the town may backbill, or adjust, the fee up to the known date of error or for a period of one year, whichever period is shorter, after written notice to the parcel owner. The parcel owner may request that payment of the backbilled charges be spread over the next 12 monthly billing cycles.
