§ 50.099 BILLING AND COLLECTION.
   (A)   The rates or charges as set forth in this subchapter shall be billed monthly, on statements which shall be issued on or about the last day of each month, and all bills for such water or sewer service shall be considered due and payable 16 days after the date of issue. If a bill is not paid within 16 days after the date of issue, the bill shall be considered delinquent, and there shall be imposed a penalty on each bill not so paid, in an amount equal to 10% of the charges (other than sales tax) shown on the face amount of the delinquent bill.
   (B)   The city may serve a customer written notice of his or her delinquency and of the fact that the customer is entitled, upon written request, to a hearing on the question of termination of service. If the bill is not paid within ten days after the mailing of such notice, and if no hearing is requested, or if a hearing is requested and timely held, and such customer’s delinquency is thereby established, the city may disconnect the water service of the customer without further notice. If any deadline date falls on a Sunday or legal holiday, the deadline shall not expire until the next secular day thereafter.
