A Statement: The City shall furnish to each user, or mail to, or leave at his place of residence or usual place of business, a written or printed statement stating thereon the amount of water service charges assessed against him once each month or at such other regular interval as the City Council shall direct. The statement shall specify the amount of the bill for the water service and the place of payment and date due. (1978 Code § 14-121; amd. 1996 Code)
B Failure To Pay: If any person fails to pay the water charges, the City shall give the customer notice in writing of intent to discontinue the service to the customer unless the customer pays the bill in full within ten (10) days from the date of notice. (Ord. 2017-1, 5-9-2017)
C Payment Of Delinquent Charges: If the water service is thereafter discontinued for failure to make payment, then before the water service to the premises shall again be provided, all delinquent water charges must have been paid or arrangements made for payment in a manner satisfactory to the City. In the event water is turned off for nonpayment of water charges, then before the water service to the premises shall again be provided, the customer shall pay, in addition to all delinquent water charges, such extra charge for turning the water on and off as the City Council may establish by resolution for turning on the water. Furthermore, in addition to such payments and penalties, a delinquent customer may be required to make and file a new application and deposit if the previous deposit has theretofore been applied to the payment of delinquent bills. The Treasurer is hereby authorized and empowered to enforce the payment of all delinquent water charges by an action at law in the name of the City. (1978 Code § 14-121; amd. Res. 95-2, 3-22-1995; 1996 Code)
