(a) A delinquency charge of ten percent (10%) but not less than twenty-five cents (25¢) shall be added to the user’s account for each and every bill for electrical current which is not paid on or before the date listed in such bill. In the event the due date falls on a weekend or holiday recognized by the City, then the due date shall be the next business date. If a delinquent account continues to be unpaid after more than one billing, then the ten percent (10%) delinquency charge shall be added for each unpaid bill.
(b) The Service Director shall immediately disconnect wires leading to, and remove meters or transformers from the premises of any consumer whose bill is not fully paid within fifteen days from the due date and no electrical current shall thereafter be furnished to such consumer until the entire amount due the City for such current, plus a delinquency charge of ten percent of the amount then due, is paid in full.
