(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.

(A) Disconnection for non-payment of bill. If water service is disconnected by the city for reason of delinquency in the payment of any water or sewer bill, reconnection of such service shall not be made until the owner or user pays all charges and penalties owed, plus the amount of $50 as a disconnection and reconnection charge.
(B) Voluntary disconnection and reconnection. In the event a customer whose water service has been disconnected because of delinquency in the payment of a water or sewer bill elects not to have the water service reconnected, or a customer who voluntarily requests that his or her water service be disconnected, subsequently requests reconnection, the customer shall pay to the city, before water service is restored to his or her premises, any delinquent water or sewer bill owed by the customer, including the penalty on the bill, plus the disconnection and reconnection charge ($50) prescribed in division (A) above; plus an amount equal to the applicable connection charge at that time for new customers.

(A) (1) The excessive strength surcharge shall be based on the following formula, with the total applied to the monthly bill of affected users:
(A(D-250) + B(E-300) + C(F-25)) x .006238 x G = Surcharge Payment ($/Mo.)
(2) Where formula components are as follows:
(a) Surcharge rate for BOD, in $/pound;
(b) Surcharge rate for SS, in $/pound;
(c) Surcharge rate for NH3-N, in $/pound;
(d) User’s average BOD concentration, in mg/liter;
(e) User’s average SS concentration, in mg/liter;
(f) User’s average NH3-N concentration, in mg/liter; and
(g) User’s monthly flow to sewage works, in 1,000 gallons.
(B) No reduction in sewage service charges, fees or taxes shall be permitted because of the fact that certain wastes discharged to the sewage works contain less than 250 mg/liter of BOD, 300 mg/liter of SS or 25 mg/liter of NH3-N.
(C) Each user shall be notified, at least annually, in conjunction with a regular bill of the rate and that portion of the total charge which is attributable to operations and maintenance of the sewage system.
