1. Sewer rentals or charges imposed by this Part shall be payable quarterly.
2. Sewer rentals or charges shall be due and payable upon the applicable billing date as provided for in § 26-122 and the appropriate amount computed in accordance with this Part shall constitute the net bill. If sewer rentals or charges are not paid within 15 calendar days after the same become due and payable (which means the first day of the month following the quarter service is used), an additional sum of 10% 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 15 calendar day period shall constitute payment within such period. If the end of such 15 calendar day period shall fall on a local holiday or 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.
A. Whenever service to any occupied building 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 pro rated equitably, if appropriate, for that portion of the quarterly billing period during which such occupied building was served by the sewer system.
B. Every owner of an occupied building which is connected to the sewer system initially shall provide the Township with and thereafter shall keep the Township advised of his 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.
