All utility charges shall be due twenty calendar days from the billing date, regardless of United States Postal delivery delays. Any bill not paid within thirty calendar days from the billing date will be considered delinquent and will be charged a late fee at the rate then in effect. Notice of late fees will be posted on the delinquency and turn-off notice(s) issued following the late bill. All delinquent utility bills, in addition to all unpaid late fees accrued by the account, and an administrative fee, shall be certified to the County Auditor, and will constitute a lien on the property receiving utility service. Prior to certifying delinquent bills, the City will post a public notice indicating its intent to certify the delinquency.
