When bills are not paid within thirty (30) days from the past due date, the City Clerk shall issue an order to shut off and discontinue wastewater service to such delinquent customers. In case service is discontinued for delinquency, it shall not be restored until the delinquency is paid, or until arrangements for payment satisfactory to the City Clerk have been made, together with a fee as defined by resolution and as amended from time to time and shall be payable whenever a service trip is made for the purpose of discontinuing and restoring service because of nonpayment even though an actual shutoff may not actually have occurred.
In the event that a delinquent customer fails to pay his bill within the time set forth above, the City may discontinue City wastewater service or remove or close sewer connections, and enter upon the property for accomplishing such purposes.
The expense of digging up and plugging the sewer service line as well as the expense of restoring said sewer service line back to an operable condition is a debt due to the City and may be recovered by legal action against the sewer user in addition to a fifteen dollar ($15.00) fee.
