(a) Every person receiving garbage, rubbish, refuse and/or recyclable solid waste hauling services from the village waste hauling contractor shall pay the invoices sent for such services within 15 days after the billing date contained in the invoice. Any such invoice which is not timely paid shall be subject to a penalty of 6% of the amount invoiced.
(b) Any bill not paid when due shall have a late payment fee of 6%of the unpaid amount added to the next statement. Each new charge for refuse, garbage, or recyclable solid waste collection that goes unpaid may have a late fee added to it, but only one late fee shall be added to the amount incurred in a single billing cycle. Failure to pay when due shall be evidence of the maintenance of a public health nuisance as defined in § 1060.01(e)(2), and the village shall take steps for the abatement of public health nuisance. Any cost of abatement may be certified by the Village Clerk to the County Auditor, along with a description of the premises served, as a lien against the real property served thereby, requesting such delinquent amount to be collected in the same manner as other real estate taxes.
