(A) The City Council may provide a system of water meter reading by any method deemed suitable to the purpose. Water bills shall be payable monthly by the date due specified on the bill. Rates for water used for each month are calculated by using the meter supplying each service.
(B) The city reserves the right to discontinue service to any customer of the water and sanitary sewer system without notice when necessary for repairs, additional connection or reconnection, or for nonpayment of charges of bills, or for disregard of any rules or regulations in connection with the use or operation of the system. Whenever any service has been discontinued for nonpayment of charges or bills or for disregard of any other purpose, it shall not be resumed except upon payment of the charges or bills accrued together with interest thereon as allowed by state statutes, or compliance with the rules and regulations previously violated and payment to the city of a restoration fee established in the city’s fee schedule.
(C) All delinquent accounts that are 60 days or more past due shall be submitted to the City Clerk who shall prepare an assessment roll each year providing for assessment of the delinquent amounts against the properties involved. The assessment roll shall be delivered to the City Council for adoption before October 30 of each year. Upon adoption, the Clerk shall certify the assessment roll to the County Auditor for collection along with taxes.
