Should the bill for any water, sewer and/or refuse services provided by the village to any property owner and/or customer of the village remain not paid in full by the due date (determined by the Village Administrator) on the bill, a 10% penalty shall be added to the then account balance. The Village Administrator or his or her designee is then authorized to mark the next bill sent to the property owner and/or customer as “Delinquent Shutoff Notice”, with a written explanation informing the property owner and/or customer that the account is in serious arrears and that services will be subject to shutoff if not paid in full by the due date on the bill. The written explanation should also inform the property owner and/or customer that he or she can make a personal or written request with the Village Administrator for a hearing with the Village Council if he or she feels the bill is incorrect. Should any bill marked “Delinquent Shutoff Notice” remain not paid in full by the due date (determined by the Village Administrator) on the bill, another 10% penalty shall be added to the then account balance, and the Village Administrator or his or her designee is then authorized to shutoff services. Services that are shut-off will be restored, when the property owner and/or customer’s account is paid in full in addition to a reconnect fee. The reconnect fee shall be $25 if restoration occurs during regular weekday village office hours (8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) or $50 if restoration occurs at any other time.
