(A) Water meters will be read monthly with bills sent monthly. For those months in which the meter is not read, the bill will be based on an estimate of the water which will be used in the month. This estimate will be based on the previous consumption, however this estimate may be modified by the Village Administrator. Upon subsequent reading of the meter, the bill will be adjusted to account for the difference between the estimated and the actual consumption. Bills will be sent on the first of each month and will be due on the 15th of the same month. A 10% late payment penalty will be assessed on the outstanding balance of the current month. The due date and/or the late charge may be modified by the Village Administrator in unusual or exceptional cases.
(B) Wherever more than one family unit or more than one business, professional or commercial establishment are supplied by one meter, then the water created shall be applied to each unit as though a separate water meter supplied each unit. This section shall include, but not be limited to, mobile home courts. The largest charge will be applied to each unit before the next lowest rate is applied.
