A notice of the impending action shall be mailed to the consumer five days prior to the thirty-five day cut-off period. The water shall not be turned on again until all sewer charges and penalties have been paid. If such charges and penalties are paid prior to 1:00 p. m., service shall be turned on the day of payment. If paid after 1:00 p. m., service shall be turned on the next working day.

In the event the bill remains unpaid for a period of thirty-five days from date of billing, the sewage outlet for the premises shall be blocked off at such premises as soon after the thirty-five day period as is practicable and shall not be unblocked or allowed to flow again until all sewage charges and penalties are paid.
