(a) The rates and charges set forth in this schedule are net as shown and reflect the discount allowed from the gross rates if all accounts due and payable are paid by the date specified on the bill. If not so paid, for current month billing, the gross rates, which are five percent higher than the unpaid current month net billing, shall be due and payable. That loss of discount shall be applied only once to any initial unpaid billing amounts.
(b) If any bill is not paid within ten days after the payment date specified on the bill the customer will be placed on notice for disconnection. Following any notice of disconnection, if the customer's bill is not paid in full on or before the date specified on the following bill, service shall be subject to disconnection as provided in the utility's rules and regulations. To partially compensate the utility for the additional expense involved, any disconnection or reconnection of service shall be subject to the utility's applicable trip charge.
