The Town Council has determined use regulations within the waterworks system in the following manner:
(A) Notices.
(1) Services are invoiced on a calendar month basis. All invoices are due monthly. Invoices are due on the fifteenth day of each month. Any invoice not paid on or after the sixteenth day of the month will include a delinquency charge.
(2) Past due invoice reminders are distributed on the sixteenth day of each month, unless the sixteenth day is on a weekend or holiday. Accounts that are more than 30 days past due are subject to being disconnected. No reminders, “door knockers,” or any other contact will be made by the utility prior to taking any action. Any account upon which a dishonored check has been received is considered to be unpaid unless and until the dishonored check and all charges associated therewith have been fully paid.
(B) Application for service and responsibility for payment of invoices. Where the premises are occupied by a tenant, utility requires that the application for service be in either the tenant or property owner’s name, who shall be responsible for the payment of all invoices. The invoice may be mailed directly to the owner of the account. The current property owner is responsible for the payment of all unpaid utility invoices existing at the time he or she became owner.
(C) Application for temporary service. For temporary service, utility’s general rules and regulations shall apply. Utility reserves the right to require that applications for temporary service be in the name of the property owner, who shall be subject to the utility’s applicable “turn-on” and “turn-off” for each temporary service.
