(A) If water service is discontinued by reason of default in payment of delinquent water rents and penalties, the service shall not be reinstated until all delinquent charges and penalties are paid.
(B) An owner (including purchasers) of real estate whose premises are provided with water service connections shall be considered as accepting the provisions of this chapter and all lawful rules and regulations fixed by this chapter and the Safety-Service Director relating to the consumption of water, and as agreeing, in particular, to be liable for all water rents and penalties for such premises whether the accounts for such premises are carried in the name of the owner, a former owner, a tenant or another person.
(C) The Safety Service Director will first mail a current bill/invoice to all account holders of record statement that utility payment must be made within 16 days of billing. If payment is not made to an account, it will be deemed past due. When the next month's bill is mailed, it will notify the delinquent account holder:
(1) That their account is past due.
(2) The amount that is past due.
(3) The date the past due must be paid to avoid shutoff.
If this is ignored, the water for this account will be shutoff.
