Such rates and charges shall be prepared, billed, and collected by the town in the manner provided by law and ordinance.
(A) The rates and charges for all users shall be prepared and billed monthly.
(B) The rates and charges may be billed to the tenant or tenants occupying the properties served, unless otherwise requested in writing by the owner, but such billing shall in no way relieve the owner from the liability in the event payment is not made as herein required. The owners of properties served, which are occupied by a tenant or tenants, shall have the right to examine the collection records of the town for the purpose of determining whether bills have been paid by the tenant or tenants, provided that this examination shall be made at the office at which the records are kept and during the hours that the office is open for business.
(C) As is provided by statute, all rates and charges not paid when due are hereby declared to be delinquent and a penalty of 10% of the amount of the rate or charges shall thereupon attach thereto. The time at which such rates or charges shall be paid is fixed at 15 days after the date of mailing of the bill.
(D) In any case where the Board of Trustees determines that there has been an overcharge or undercharge for the use of the sewer system, the Board will make a corresponding retroactive price adjustment for maximum of 12 months prior to the determination or for a lesser period, if that corresponds to the period of incorrect charges. Upon a determination by the Board that there has been an overcharge or undercharge, the Clerk-Treasurer will refund to or collect the amount due from the customer with interest at the rate of 8% per annum.
