(a) The Director shall permit customers not less than twenty-eight (28) days to pay water bills, from the date such bills are mailed. The due date or the time to pay shall be clearly stated on each bill. If the water bill remains unpaid as of the due date, the Director shall assess a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the bill and shall mail a notice of the delinquency to the customer and to any other person who has requested to receive duplicate bills associated with that premises.
(b) When any check tendered in payment of any water bill is dishonored by the maker's bank or other financial institution, the processing costs charged to the City, plus a fee of ten dollars ($10.00), shall be charged and added to the customer's account balance. The Director is authorized to refuse payment by check from, or on behalf of any customer whose personal check or third party check has twice been dishonored.
