All dwelling units and other residential uses within the Fairview Village East Sewer District, the Fairview Village West Sewer District and the Valley Forge Road Sewer District shall be charged uniform rates and charges on a quarterly basis in accordance with Article
II of this chapter.
Bills for the sewage charges imposed hereby
shall be rendered monthly, or quarterly at the Township's discretion,
and shall cover the billing period consisting of the immediately preceding
quarter. Bills shall be due and payable on the billing date, and the
appropriate amount computed in accordance with this article shall
constitute the net bill. If the charges are not paid within 30 calendar
days after each billing, an additional sum of 10% shall be added to
such net bill, which net bill, plus such additional sum, shall constitute
the gross bill. Payment made or mailed and postmarked on or before
the first day of the end of such thirty-calendar-day period shall
constitute payment within such period. If the end of such thirty-calendar-day
period shall fall on a legal holiday or on a Saturday or Sunday, payment
made or mailed and postmarked on the next succeeding day which is
not a legal holiday shall constitute payment within such period. Any
bill not paid within said thirty-calendar-day period shall be deemed
delinquent.
The sewage charges imposed by this article shall
be a lien upon all real property within the Fairview Village East
Sewer District, the Fairview Village West Sewer District and the Valley
Forge Road Sewer District; and any such charges which are delinquent
shall be filed as a lien against said property, which lien shall be
filed in the office of the Prothonotary of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania,
and shall be collected in the manner provided by law for the filing
and collecting of municipal claims. Interest collected on liens filed
by the Township shall accrue at the rate of 10% per annum from the
date of the filing of the lien until paid.
The Township reserves the right to adopt, from
time to time, such additional rules and regulations as it shall deem
necessary and proper in connection with the use and operation of the
sewer system, which rules and regulations shall be, shall become and
shall be construed as part of this article.
All property owners whose properties adjoin
and are adjacent to the sanitary sewer system of the Township are
required to connect and use the sewer system. Each owner who owns
a property on which is located a principal building within 150 feet
of the sanitary sewer system is also required to connect and use the
sewer system.
