(A) The Board of County Sanitation District has previously determined and ordained when sewer bills shall be considered as overdue, such determination shall apply to the schedule of rates and charges. For each month, or fraction of a month, that any bill for sewer services remains overdue and unpaid after the tenth day of the month, there shall be added to the face amount of such bill a penalty of $5. A payment of less than the full amount due may (but need not) be accepted by the collecting officers or officers designated by the district, but the same shall be merely on account and shall not prevent a further accruing of the monthly penalty or otherwise stop the district from pursuing any and all other remedies afforded by law until the face amount of the bill and the accrued penalty shall have been paid in full.
(B) The district takes specific notice of the provisions of KRS 96.932 and other applicable law, including case law and opinions of the Kentucky Attorney General, granting to cities the authority and right to enforce collection of lawful rates and charges for the use of municipal sanitary sewer service, by requiring that water service be discontinued until payment for such sewer service is made. The district hereby covenants with all bondholders of the district to use and employ the enforcement provisions of the statute and other applicable law to the fullest extent allowable under law.
