(a) (1) The City will read all meters, prepare and mail bills to the owner of the property served. All water and sewer bills shall be due and payable on or before the date noted on the bill.
(2) Bills which are being mailed to agents or renters as of the effective date of this section shall continue in such manner until such time as a change of the account becomes necessary. (Ord. 8-93. Passed 3-17-93.)
(b) In case of a failure to pay a water or sewerage or sewer surcharge bill for a period of ten days after rendition of the bill a ten percent (10%) penalty shall be added and if the bill remains unpaid for a period of fifteen days after the billing date, such water shall be cut-off and services shall be resumed only upon payment by the user of the delinquent bill and an additional fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). (Ord. 18-97. Passed 9-3-97.)
(c) That if such assessments are not paid when due, the Safety-Service Director shall be authorized to look directly to the owner of the property for so much of the sewerage and water rentals as remain unpaid. Such charges are to be collected in the same manner as other City taxes. (Ord. 8-93. Passed 3-17-93.)
