(A) Statement. The Town Clerk or Superintendent of Water shall furnish to each user, or mail to, or leave at his or her place of residence or usual place of business, a written or printed statement stating thereon the amount of water service charges assessed against him or her once each month or at such other regular interval as the Town Council shall direct.
(B) Failure to pay. The statement shall specify the amount of the bill for the water service and the place of payment and date due. If any person fails to pay the water charges within 30 days of the date due, the Town Clerk or Superintendent of Water 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 five days from the date of notice.
(C) Discontinued service for delinquent payment. 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 to the Town Treasurer or arrangements made for their payment in a manner satisfactory to the town. In the event water is turned off for non-payment 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 Town Council may have established by resolution. The consolidated fee schedule is on file in the city office. 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 Town Clerk is hereby authorized and empowered to enforce the payment of all delinquent water charges by an action at law in the name of the town.
