A. All water rates and other charges are due and payable at the office of the city clerk during office hours between the first and tenth days of each and every month for the last preceding month, excepting flat rates, which are payable in advance at the same time and place. Such accounts become delinquent at four thirty o'clock (4:30) P.M. on the tenth day of the month if not paid as described in this section. If such delinquent charges become sixty (60) days overdue, the water superintendent shall shut off the water from all premises on which the charges for water, sewer or garbage collection have not been paid.
B. Failure to receive a monthly statement from the city clerk shall not extend the time of payment as provided in this section, nor justify postponement of the time for shutting off the water. The city officers charged with the duty of collecting water rates under this chapter shall not be required to make personal demand therefor; provided, that the services rendered by the city shall not be discontinued until the city has complied with the procedure for notice and hearing as specified in section 13.08.730 of this title. (Ord. 388, 1987: Ord. 310A, 1981: prior code § 1-918)
