Bills for water and sewer charges shall be rendered monthly and shall be payable without discount within 20 days after the postmark date of the bill or prior to the cut-off date stated on the bill. Failure to make payment by the designated cut-off date shall result in severance of service subject to the hearing requirements set forth in § 53.42. A penalty charge, established by City Council resolution, shall be assessed against all accounts unpaid as of the designated cut-off date. Failure to receive a bill does not entitle the consumer to exemption from penalty. A charge, established by board resolution, will be assessed against each check and sure-pay draft which is returned to the city due to insufficient funds.
