Water bills are payable quarterly. The City Manager is authorized to take such steps as may be necessary to stagger the billing periods of the various users throughout the city so that approximately an equal number of bills will come due each 30 days after due or payable date. Payment arrangements may be made allowing a customer to make payments over the upcoming three month period, provided that the bill is paid in its entirety by the time the next water bills are mailed out. If payment arrangements are not made, or if a customer fails to make payments as scheduled, water will be shut off without further notice and will not be turned on again until all arrearages are paid. In addition a fee will be charged for turning on said water. The fee will be in accordance with a fee schedule as adopted by motion of the City Commission. The failure to receive a bill does not entitle the consumer to exception from penalty.
