(A) Uniformity. This subchapter uniformly regulates the rates and charges supplied from or on behalf of the town and/or its waterworks.
(B) Applicability. The rates and charges established for any class of customer, user, unit, or property shall apply to any additional customer, user, unit, or property that is subsequently served and falls within the same class, without any hearing or notice.
(C) Contracts. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to limit the right of the Town Council and another person to enter into and abide by a special contract.
(1) Where this chapter conflicts with the terms of a contract entered into by the Town Council, the terms of the contract control with respect to that person.
(2) If an act would be considered a payment default under this chapter but is specifically permitted in the contract, the act is instead not a default.
(D) Responsible party. If the charges incurred pursuant to this chapter should not be fairly assessed to a customer, they shall instead be charged to another person (owner, tenant, user, tortfeasor, etc.) who is responsible for the charges, as if such person were a customer of the waterworks.
