A. 
Sewer service charges shall be billed to all users on a monthly basis by the Village of Blue Mounds Sewer Utility.
B. 
A penalty of 3% will be added to bills not paid within 20 days from the date of bill. If bill is not paid within 20 days, the user will be given written notice that the bill is delinquent and that unless payment or satisfactory arrangement for payment is made within the next eight days, service will be discontinued without further notice. A charge will be collected in advance for restoring service after service has been shut off for nonpayment. The amount of the charge will be a percentage of the user's fixed rate and shall be set by resolution of the Village Board.
A. 
Every reasonable care will be exercised in the proper delivery of sewer bills. Failure to receive a sewer bill, however, shall not relieve any person of the responsibility for payment of sewer rates within the prescribed period, nor exempt any person from any penalty imposed for delinquency in the payment thereof.
B. 
The property owner is held responsible for all sewer bills on premises that he or she owns. All sewer bills and notices of any nature, relative to the sewer service, will be addressed to the owner and delivered to the premises referred to on such bill or notice.
A. 
Charges and penalties shall constitute a lien upon the property pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 66.0821(4)(c)-(d). Change of ownership or occupancy of premises shall not be cause for reducing or eliminating these charges or penalties or for reducing any liens imposed.
B. 
On October 1 in each year, notice shall be given to the owner or occupant of all lots or parcels of real estate to which service has been furnished prior to October 1 and payment for which is owing and in arrears at the time of giving such notice. The notice shall be given by the Village Clerk/Treasurer unless the Village Board, from time to time, shall authorize otherwise. Such notice shall be in writing; shall state the amount of such arrears, including any such penalty assessed pursuant to the rules of the utility; and shall state that unless the same is paid by November 1 thereafter, a 10% penalty shall be added to such amount of the arrears and will be levied as a tax against the lot or parcel of real estate to which service was furnished and for which payment is delinquent as above specified. Such notice may be served either by delivery to such owner or occupant personally or by letter addressed to such owner or occupant at the post office address of such lot or parcel of real estate. On November 1, the Village Clerk/Treasurer or officer or department issuing the notice shall certify and file with the Village Clerk/Treasurer a list of all lots or parcels of real estate giving the legal description thereof, to the owners or occupants, of which notice of arrears still remain unpaid, and stating the amount of such arrears together with the added penalty thereon as herein provided. Each such delinquent amount, including such penalty, shall thereupon become a lien upon the lot or parcel of real estate to which the service was furnished and payment for which is delinquent, and the Village Clerk/Treasurer shall insert the same as a tax against such lots or parcels of real estate, as provided by law.
The amounts received from the collection of charges authorized by this chapter shall be credited to a sanitary sewerage account that shall show all receipts and expenditures of the sewerage system. Charges collected for replacement expenses shall be credited to a segregated, nonlapsing replacement account. These funds are to be used exclusively for replacement. When appropriated by the Village, the credits to the sewerage account shall be available for the payment of the requirements for operation, maintenance, repairs, and depreciation of the sewerage system consistent with Chapter NR 162 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. Any surplus outside the purview of Chapter NR 162 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code in said account shall be available for the payment of principal and interest of bonds issued and outstanding, or which may be issued, to provide funds for said sewerage system, or part thereof, and all or a part of the expenses for additions and improvements and other necessary disbursements or indebtedness, and the Village may resolve to pledge each surplus or any part thereof for any such purpose. All present outstanding sewer system general obligation bonds, including the refunding bonds, shall be paid for this fund as to both principal and interest.
