(a) A basic penalty charge of ten (10) percent of the unpaid balance, or five dollars ($5.00), whichever is greater, may be added to any user fee payment that is delinquent. Interest at the rate of one-half (0.5) percent per month shall accrue on the sum of delinquent payments and penalty charges, compounded monthly.
(b) When a user fee payment has been delinquent for more than sixty (60) days, a written notice may be sent to the address listed for such account stating the total amount of delinquent payments and penalty charges then due and the period of time for which the payment has been delinquent.
(c) If the delinquent payments and penalty charges are not paid within ten (10) working days from the date of the delinquency notice, the director or his agents may take appropriate steps to ensure that the sewer connection giving rise to the delinquency is no longer utilized until the delinquency is paid.
