Bills covering the sewer usage fee shall be mailed to the owners (or their designated agent) of the building spaces connected to the Four Corners Sewer System.
Bills will be mailed to all owners on a quarterly basis. The Sewer Commission may revise the billing frequency. If the bill is incorporated into another billing system (for example, the water bill), the costs attributed to the Four Corners Sewer District will be a separate line item.
Usage fees for new connections made to the Four Corners Sewer System within a quarterly billing period shall be based on the actual number of water units, as calculated pursuant to Article VI.
When a transfer of ownership of a building space connected to the Four Corners Sewer System occurs, the previous owner will be billed based upon the final water meter reading. If a final water meter reading is not obtained, the new property owner will be responsible for any unpaid usage or unpaid bills.
Requests for abatement of the sewer usage fee must be made in writing to the Sewer Commission. Abatements will be considered only for the current fiscal year. The applicant must reapply for each fiscal year. Abatements are nontransferable. Abatements will be considered for the following reasons:
A. 
New connections when plumbing is not complete in dwellings or building spaces. The owner must notify the Sewer Commission when plumbing is complete.
B. 
New construction or renovation when a building space is connected to the Four Corners Sewer System but not yet occupied. The owner must notify the Sewer Commission when construction is complete and the occupancy permit is issued.
C. 
Vacancies of rental property for longer than three months.
D. 
Seasonally occupied building spaces which are customarily occupied for a portion of the year, if the vacancy lasts three months or longer.
E. 
Property destroyed by fire or disaster, which makes the structure unsuitable for occupancy.
F. 
Water usage which is shown not to have been discharged into the Four Corners Sewer System. This shall not include water usage which would be measured by a second or irrigation meter if one had been installed.
G. 
The Sewer Commission may, but is not required to, consider billing usage at lower tiers if there has been abnormally high usage.
Whenever an industrial user discharges process wastes, an industrial cost recovery system will be established in accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rules and regulations.
Collection of delinquent sewer usage fees may be enforced by the Town pursuant to MGL C. 59 and C. 83, § 16.
The Sewer Commission shall have authority to charge interest and late fees and to change them as necessary.
The Sewer Commission may, in any particular instance, waive strict compliance with the application of these regulations.
