There shall be prepared a unified billing for all utility services provided by the town, including water, sewer, landfill and electricity, for each property served, and if there is more than one meter for each utility serving the property, they shall be separately designated but on a single billing. Utility bills shall be mailed on the first day of the month following the month during which meters are read and shall be due on or before the twentieth day of that month. Bills shall become delinquent after 21 days following the billing date. Should payment for service not be received by the town prior to the twenty-first the customer will receive notice of termination of electric service. Should the month’s bill not be paid prior to the twenty-fifth day the service will be terminated and a reconnect fee will be added to the amount due and must be paid in full before electric service is again provided. The town reserves the right to vary the dates or length of a billing period, temporarily or permanently, if necessary or desirable. A late charge of 10% may be charged by the town for each month or portion thereof that a billing remains unpaid after it becomes delinquent, and any late charges shall be added to and become a part of subsequent billings until paid.
