(A) Disconnection. If all fees and charges for municipal utilities and utility services have not been received by the city on or before the twenty-seventh day following the date of the billing for the period in which such utilities and utility services were supplied or rendered, including any outstanding returned payments for utility services, on the twenty-eighth day or the next business day, the city may disconnect the utility service connection or metering device for all or part of the utility services supplied but not paid.
