(1) In the case of an owner of improved property whose quarterly bill for sewer rentals or charges shall be computed in whole or in part upon the basis of water volume usage metered in connection with the water system, the quarterly billing date shall be the same date as shall be applicable for billing in connection with the water system. Such bill for sewer rentals or charges shall cover services furnished during the three months immediately preceding the billing date.
(2) In the case of an owner of improved property whose quarterly bill for sewer rentals or charges shall be computed on any basis completely independent of water volume usage metered in connection with the water system, the quarterly billing dates shall be the first days of January, April, July and October, respectively, in each year, and shall cover services furnished during the three calendar months immediately preceding the billing date.
(B) (1) Sewer rentals or charges shall be due and payable five days after mailing or delivery by or in behalf of this borough to the person responsible for payment thereof. If sewer rentals or charges are not paid within 30 calendar days after the same become due and payable, an additional sum of 5% shall be added to such net bill, which net bill, plus such additional sum, shall constitute the gross bill. Payment made or mailed and postmarked on or before the last day of such 30-calendar day period shall constitute payment within such period. If the end of such 30-calendar day period shall fall on a legal holiday or on a Sunday, payment made on or mailed and postmarked on the next succeeding business day which is not a legal holiday, shall constitute payment within such period.
(2) Whenever service to any improved property shall begin after the first day or shall terminate before the last day of any quarterly billing period, sewer rentals or charges for such period shall be prorated equitably, if appropriate, for that portion of the quarterly billing period during which such improved property was served by the sewer system.
(C) Every owner of improved property which is connected to the sewer system initially shall provide this borough with and thereafter shall keep this borough advised of his or her correct address. Failure of any person to receive quarterly bills for sewer rentals or charges shall not be considered an excuse for nonpayment nor shall such failure result in an extension of the period of time during which the net bill shall be payable.
