(a) A utility bill will be comprised of electric, water, and sewer charges, plus nuisance abatement costs (if any) and will be rendered on or about the first day of each month. Should bills be mailed later than the fifth (5th) day of any month, the Finance Director shall extend the payment due date.
(Ord. 2022-50. Passed 9-6-22.)
(b) Utility payment is due on the twentieth (20th) of each month. If that date falls on a weekend or Holiday, the due date will be the next working day. If all accounts of the consumer are not paid by the due date, a gross charge shall be assessed. The gross charge shall be the net amount on such bill, plus a charge of ten percent (10%).
(c) The City will allow a minimum of fifteen days between the date of the bill and the final payment date specified on the bill.
(d) Utility bills are payable in person or by mail at the finance office, or at any authorized and designated collection agency of the City, on or before the date specified on the bill. Utility payments mailed and postmarked by the due date specified on the bill shall be deemed paid on time. Failure to receive a bill or the existence of a deposit will not entitle the consumer to any discount or the remission of any charge for non-payment within the time limit specified.
(e) If a customer pays with an NSF check two or more times in a twelve month period, the Finance Director can require that future payments are made by cash or money order only. After a twelve month period, the customer may request to write checks again.
