The sewer charges shall be billed monthly or bi-monthly, on such statements which shall be issued on or about the first of each month or every other month, and, with the exception of the Beam Facility, all bills for such service shall be considered due and payable 15 days after the date of issue. The sewer charges for the Beam Facility shall be billed monthly and shall be considered due and payable 30 days after the date issued. For each bill not paid by the date it was due and payable there shall be imposed a penalty in an amount equal to 10% of the charges (other than sales tax) shown on the face amount of such delinquent bill. The city may serve a user written notice of his delinquency and of the fact that such user is entitled, upon written request, to a hearing on the question of termination of service. If such bill is not paid within ten days after the mailing of such notice, and if no hearing is requested and timely held, and such user's delinquency is thereby established, the city may disconnect the water and/or sewer service of such user without further notice. If an employee of the city is dispatched to the premises of a delinquent account, for the purpose of disconnecting the water and/or sewer service by reason of delinquency in the payment of any water and/or sewer bill, said service shall not be continued or reconnected until the property owner and/or user pays all charges and penalties owed, plus the amount of $30 or the actual disconnection/reconnection cost incurred, whichever is larger, as a disconnection/re-connection charge. If any deadline date falls on a Sunday or legal holiday, such deadline shall not expire until the next secular day thereafter.
