(A) The rates and charges set forth in Schedule A (§ 52.140) are hereby established as the rules and charges for the use and service supplied by the system. It shall be the duty of the village to cause statements for charges to be sent to each customer of the system on a monthly basis, provided however that if conditions do not reasonably permit a monthly billing, that bills shall be sent as soon as practicable, and in no event shall untimely billing be a defense to payments.
(B) A charge shall be made to the users of the system which shall be reasonable for the use and service of such system, and such charges or rates for that purpose shall be established and such rates shall be sufficient to pay the cost of the operation and maintenance of the entire system of the village, including an adequate depreciation fund therefor.
(C) No person owing waterworks charges and moving to other premises where there are such connections or where connections shall afterwards be made shall be served until all charges in arrears are paid in full.
(D) Any person who shall vacate any premises, or any person who shall enter upon and occupy any premises, shall immediately, before vacating such premises or occupying such premises, notify the Department and secure a reading of the meter.
(E) The adequacy of the water service charge shall be reviewed, not less often than annually, by Certified Public Accountants for the village in their annual audit report. The water service charge shall be revised periodically to reflect a change in local capital costs or O, M & R costs.
