There shall be an additional charge made and added to bills in all cases, if bills are not paid when due, which shall be a penalty of 5% of the amount thereof. Each bill shall show the net charge, which shall be the amount computed on the basis established in this subchapter or as the charge may be adjusted, and which charge shall be applicable and the amount payable and collectible up to and including the due date. Each bill shall also show a gross charge that shall be the net charge, plus the 5% penalty, and the gross charge shall be applicable and be the amount payable and collectible after the due date. The billing and collection of sewer bills by the city waterworks shall be done in the same manner as handled for the collection of water bills, and as set forth by the waterworks.
