Title 18 Water and Sewers
Chapter 1 Water And Sewer System Administration
18-111 : Customer billing and payment policy.[4]
Water and sewer bills shall be rendered monthly and shall designate a standard net payment period for all members of not less than fifteen (15) days after the date of the bill. Failure to receive a bill will not release a customer from payment obligation. There is established for all members a late payment charge at such rates as are from time to time set by the city council4, for any portion of the bill paid after the net payment period.
Payment must be received in accordance with water and sewer policies as the city may from time to time adopt by appropriate ordinance or resolution.
If a meter fails to register properly, or if a meter is removed to be tested or repaired, or if water is received other than through a meter, the city reserves the right to render an estimated bill based on the best information available. (modified)
