(A) Pursuant to IC 8-1.5-3-4(d), the Water Utility may discontinue water service to a customer or any property upon the failure by the water consumer or the property owner to pay charges legally due for sewer or sewage disposal plant service.
(B) The water service may not be discontinued by the Water Utility for nonpayment of sewer or sewage disposal plant service charges until the charges have been due and unpaid for at least 30 days.
(C) Pursuant to IC 8-1.5-3-4(e), the Town Council hereby designates the town’s Waste Utility to, before water service is discontinued under this section, give written notice to the water consumer or property owner of its intention to discontinue water service if the unpaid sewer or sewage disposal plant service charges are not paid before a date specified in the notice. The notice must be mailed not less than ten days before water service is to be discontinued and addressed to the water consumer or the property owner at his or her last known address.
(D) The remedy provided herein for the collection of delinquent sewer charges shall not be construed to abridge or in any manner interfere with the right and power of the town to enforce the collection thereof by any other action or as otherwise provided by statute.
