(a) The charges for water used shall be issued on or about the first day of each month. Such charges shall be made in a combined billing which shall also include charges for sewer and solid waste collection services, if provided. The combined billing shall be payable upon receipt.
(b) Any such combined billing not paid by the 15th day of the month in which the billing is received shall bear a one-time late charge in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the billing for that month’s services.
(c) The Village Administrator shall issue a shutoff notice and may discontinue water service and solid waste collection service without further notice for nonpayment of the combined billing amount, where such combined billing amount is not paid by the 26th day of the month following that month in which the billing is received. The Village reserves the right to enter the premises, remove the meter, and take necessary measures to prevent unlawful use of water, in the event an outside shutoff is not easily accessible. A charge of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) will be assessed to reconnect the water.
(d) In the event that the combined billing amount is not paid in full, a lien will be filed with the County Auditor and the water and solid waste collection service will not be resumed until the balance is collected. (Ord. 20-98. Passed 11-9-98.)
