Statements of the charges for sewer service shall be rendered bimonthly on or about the twentieth day of the billing month for each consumer, as determined by the Director of Finance, and the amount of all such charges shall be paid to the City on or before ten days after the last day of the month in which the statements are rendered. If the unpaid charges are not paid on or before ten days after the last day of the month in which the statement was rendered, an additional late payment charge of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) shall be added thereto and become part of such unpaid charges, and notice of such additional charges shall be given in the manner provided for charges for sewer service unless the late payment charge provided in Section 1044.13 has been added to the account. If the unpaid charges are not paid on or before the last day of the month following the month in which the statements were rendered, the water supply to the consumer so in default of payment shall be disconnected by the City. Service restitution shall be made in accordance with Section 1044.13. If the consumer of sewer service is not connected to the City water supply, rendering the City incapable of discontinuing the water service as provided for in Section 1044.13, the Director of Finance shall assess a late payment charge of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each billing cycle late and a thirty-five dollar ($35.00) service fee to the account so in default of payment, and shall certify such charges and fees to the County Auditor in accordance with Section 1040.17.
