Legal Documents of White Pine

Meters will be read monthly. All bills shall be payable at the town hall, or at a place designated by the town. Payments for water or sewer service will not be accepted unless the payment is accompanied by the water/sewer bill.

The town inspector, meter reader, or other properly authorized employee shall have access at all reasonable hours to premises supplied with water and/or sewer for the purpose of reading, inspecting, repairing, or removing meters.

The consumer assumes full responsibility for all water and sewer charges as determined by the meter readings. Adjustment to water and sewer bills will be made only in the event of error by the Town of White Pine. Adjustments may be permitted on sewer charges in the event a water leak does not enter the sewer and is verified by an authorized representative of the town. Adjustments will be arrived at by computing the average of six (6) previous monthly billings, but due consideration shall be given for any excessive use of water during such period.

All charges for water services from the existing municipal water system and all charges for sewer services shall be combined in one statement to each customer, with said statement clearly showing the separate amounts due for water and sewer services, and each and every such customer shall pay both charges in full, and failure to so pay both charges shall result in the discontinuance of the water service and the sewer service to such customer or customers.

All bills due the town for water and sewer service shall be due and payable upon receipt. Bills for metered water and sewer service shall be increased 10% if not paid on or before the 18th day of each month. (1978 Code, § 13-116, as amended by Ord. #6-01, Nov. 2001, and Ord. #9-08, Aug. 2008)
