§ 50.04 SEWER BILL.
   (A)   (1)   The basic sewer bill for all users shall consist of sewer user charges for operation, maintenance, and replacement, using the unit charges described in § 50.03 applied to the user’s billable flow. Users shall be billed quarterly, upon the same schedule that water billings are made. The basic sewer bill shall be computed using the following formula:
 
CW = (Vu-X) CV + CS
 
Where   CW= Sewer bill for the billing period
Vu = Billable flow for the billing period (§ 50.03(C)(9))
X = Minimum billable flow for the billing period (§ 50.03(C)(6)). The entire term (Vu - X) is subject to the provisions of § 50.03(C)(6)
CV = User charge unit rate (§ 50.07)
CS = Amount of surcharge (if applicable)
 
      (2)   The village shall reserve the right to require any user to meter his or her flow.
   (B)   Any residential sewer user not connected to the village water system shall pay a flat rate per billing period to be established by the village. All nonresidential users shall be required to meter sewage flows.
   (C)   A one-time handling charge equal to 10% of charges due shall be added to all charges due for sewer service if bill is not paid within 30 days of the rendition of the statement.
   (D)   In the event that a customer has not paid sewer charges within 60 days after the same is rendered, it shall be the duty of the proper officers of the village to shut off the water supply to said customer until such time as all past due bills for sewer service are fully paid, together with a service charge of an amount as set forth in § 35.02 for the restoration of water service; provided, that in cases of genuine hardship, the Village Clerk or his or her designee may set up a monthly payment schedule for such customer and avoid the necessity of shutting off water.
   (E)   Nonreceipt of any bill described in this section shall not release liability of user for those charges. In any case where the user in responsible for the nonreceipt of bill, the conditions herein described for late payment and additional charges shall apply thereto. In any case where the village is responsible for the nonreceipt of a bill, the village, at its discretion, may grant the user an extension of any discount period and late payment conditions described herein.
