A. The city shall furnish to each user, or mail to, or leave at his place of residence or usual place of business, a written or printed statement stating thereon the amount of water service charges assessed against him once each month or at such other regular interval as the governing body shall direct.

B. The statement shall specify the amount of the bill for the water service and the place of payment and date due. If any person fails to pay the water charges within thirty days of the date due, the city shall give the customer notice in writing of intent to discontinue water services to the customer unless the customer pays the bill in full within five days from the date of notice.

C. If the water service is thereafter discontinued for failure to make payment, then before services to the premises shall again be provided all outstanding water, sewer and other charges for city utility services must have been paid to the treasurer or arrangements made for their payment in a manner satisfactory to the municipality. In the event water is turned off for nonpayment of water charges, then before services to the premises shall again be provided the customer shall pay, in addition to all outstanding utility charges, such extra charge for turning the water on and off as the governing body may have established by resolution. Until such a resolution has been adopted, there shall be added an extra charge of five dollars for turning on the water during regular working hours and fifteen dollars if turning on the water at any other time. Furthermore, in addition to such payments and penalties, a delinquent customer may be required to make and file a new application and deposit if the previous deposit has theretofore been applied to the payment of delinquent bills. The city is authorized and empowered to enforce the payment of all delinquent water charges by an action at law in the name of the municipality. (Ord. 2018-09 § 1 (Exh. A (part)); Ord. 1/2/2007O-1 § 1 (part); Ord. 5/4/2004O-19; Code 1975 § 14-121)
