All water, sewer service, and stormwater utility bills shall be payable monthly by the fifteenth day of the month in which they are due.
All such bills shall be subject to a late charge of ten percent of the net amount due if not paid on or before the fifteenth of the month in which they are due.
Failure to receive a bill through the mail, loss of a bill, payment through a courtesy payment service, or absence due to vacations do not constitute eligible grounds for exemption from the late charge. Payments by mail shall be postmarked no later than the fifteenth day of the month. For utility customers with unforeseen circumstances or unknown leaks, the Manager or designee may forgive a payment or portion thereof, workout a payment plan with at least fifty percent of the outstanding bill paid immediately for a term not to exceed six months and/or suspend the late charge.
