A. In the event that the water user on premises connected to the sewerage system shall fail to pay any charge herein provided by the fifteenth of the month following presentation of a bill by the city therefor, a penalty for late payment in an amount established by resolution by the city council shall be added to such bill, and the city clerk shall have no authority to accept any such later payment thereafter without first collecting the penalty therefor.
B. In the event that the water user on premises connected to the city sewerage system shall fail to pay any charge or rental herein provided by the fifteenth of the second month following presentation of the bill for such charge or rental to the water user, the city may, in addition to any other remedies it may have, discontinue furnishing sewer service and shall not resume the same until all delinquent charges and rental hereunder, together with any service charge necessitated by the resumption of sewer service, have been fully paid.
C. In addition or in the alternative, and at the option of the city, the city may file a civil action for the collection of any amounts due and unpaid. This remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to the remedy or means of enforcing payment of the sums required to be paid by the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 659, 4-6-1982)
