(A) Clerk to furnish statements for water use and water shutoff.
(1) For flat rate water service, the City Clerk shall furnish to each property owner, landlord or landlady, or his or her agent, or to the tenant in possession, by the first day of the month, a statement of the amount due for water rental for the next ensuing month.
(2) For metered water service, the City Clerk shall, in like manner, furnish a statement for the amount due for water rental for the month immediately prior thereto.
(3) If any person neglects to pay his or her water rent by the thirtieth day of said month, or shall fail or refuse to pay the water rent to the City Clerk, the City Clerk shall notify the Superintendent of Waterworks, who shall cause the water to be turned off from the premises of such delinquents. Before the water is again turned on, all pertinent provisions of this chapter must first be complied with.
(B) Failure to receive statements. The failure of any user of water to receive notice or statement of nonpayment of water fees will not affect the rights of the city to shut off water for nonpayment of bills.
