1. 
Sewer rentals or charges imposed by this Part 2 shall be payable quarterly.
In the case of an Owner of Improved Property whose quarterly bill for sewer rentals or charges shall be computed in whole or in part upon the basis of water volume usage metered in connection with the operation of the Water System, the quarterly billing date shall be the same date as shall be applicable for billing in connection with the Water System. Such bill for sewer rentals or charges shall cover services furnished during the three months immediately preceding the billing date.
In the case of an Owner of Improved Property whose quarterly bill for sewer rentals or charges shall be computed on any basis completely independent of water volume usage metered in connection with the operation of the Water System, the quarterly billing dates shall be the first days of January, April, July and October, respectively, in each year end, to the extent practicable, shall cover services furnished during the three calendar months immediately preceding the billing date.
2. 
Sewer rentals or charges shall be due and payable upon the applicable date as provided for in § 204(1) and the appropriate amount computed in accordance with this Part 2 shall constitute the net bill. If sewer rentals or charges are not paid within 30 calendar days after each billing date, 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 last day of such 30 calendar day period shall constitute payment within such period. If the end of such 30 calendar day period shall fall on a legal holiday or a Sunday, payment made on or mailed and postmarked on the next succeeding week day which is not a legal holiday shall constitute payment within such period.
3. 
All accounts remaining unpaid 60 days after the date of the original bill will be considered in "Cut-off" status and an additional charge equal to 5% of the original bill will be added. A copy of that bill will be forwarded, by certified mail, to the property owner, together with a Notice of Discontinuance of Service containing an effective date for such service discontinuance.
Any service which is discontinued due to non-payment will not again be supplied except upon payment of all arrearages and a minimum re-connection fee of $60 before service is restored.
The provisions of the Utility Services Tenants Rights Act will be utilized in the case of Landlord Ratepayers.
4. 
Whenever service to any Billing Unit shall begin after the first day or shall terminate before the last day of any quarterly billing period, sewer rentals or charges for such period shall be prorated equitably, if appropriate, for that portion of the quarterly billing period during which such Billing Unit was served by the Sewer System.
5. 
Every Owner of Improved Property which is connected to the Sewer System initially shall provide this Borough with and the reafter shall keep this Borough advised of his correct address. Failure of any Person to receive quarterly bills for sewer rentals or charges shall not be considered an excuse for nonpayment nor shall such failure result in an extension of the period of time during which such bill shall be payable without penalty.
[Ord. 100, 5/8/1973, § 5]
The sewer rentals or charges hereby imposed shall be a lien on the Improved Property connected to and served by the Sewer System from the date such sewer rental or charges becomes due and payable under provisions of this Part 2; and all sewer rentals or charges hereby imposed which shall not be paid within 60 days after the same became due and payable shall be entered as a lien against the Improved Property so connected to and served by the Sewer System, which lien shall be filed in the office of the Prothonotary of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in the manner provided by law for the filing of municipal claims. All delinquent bills shall be collected by this Borough in any manner permitted and authorized by law.
[Ord. 100, 5/8/1973, § 6]
1. 
Methods of Measuring Volume.
A. 
Whenever the entire water supply of an Improved Property or, if applicable, of a Billing Unit or Billing Units located therein, discharging Sanitary Sewage and/or Industrial Wastes into the Sewer System, is supplied by the Water System, the volume of water furnished, as determined from meter readings of the Water System, shall be used as the measure of discharge of Sanitary Sewage and/or Industrial Wastes in computing sewer rentals or charges, subject to adjustment, if appropriate, as provided in this Part 2.
B. 
Whenever an Improved Property or, if applicable, a Billing Unit or Billing Units located therein, discharging Sanitary Sewage and/or Industrial Wastes into the Sewer System, shall have a source or sources of water supply in addition to or other than the Water System, the Owner of such Improved Property shall provide a meter or meters on such additional or other source or sources of water supply. The total volume of water consumed, as determined from the meter readings of the Water System and the meter readings of the meter or meters on such additional or other source or sources of water supply, or the meter readings of the meter or meters on such other source or sources of water supply, as appropriate, shall be used as the measure of discharge of Sanitary Sewage and/or Industrial Wastes in computing the sewer rentals or charges, subject to adjustment, if appropriate, as provided in this Part 2.
C. 
Whenever an Improved Property or, if applicable, a Billing Unit or Billing Units located therein, shall use water from the Water System and/or water from a source or sources of supply in addition to or other than the Water System for cooling or unpolluted commercial or industrial process purposes and all or part of the water so used shall not be discharged into the Sewer System, the volume used as the measure of discharge of Sanitary Sewage and/or Industrial Wastes in computing sewer rentals or charges may be adjusted by one of the following methods:
(1) 
By installing a meter or other measuring device on the connection to the Sewer System. The readings from such meter or measuring device shall be used as the measure of discharge of Sanitary Sewage and/or Industrial Wastes in computing sewer rentals or charges.
(2) 
By installing a meter or other measuring device to measure the volume not being discharged into the Sewer System. The readings from such meter or measuring device shall be deducted from the total water meter readings and the remainder shall be used as the measure of discharge of Sanitary Sewage and/or Industrial Wastes in computing sewer rentals or charges.
(3) 
If it is not practical, in the opinion of this Borough, to install a meter or other measuring device to determine continuously the volume not discharged into the Sewage System, this Borough shall determine in such manner and by such method as it may prescribe, the percentage of metered water which is being discharged into the Sewer System. The quantity of water used as the measure of discharge of Sanitary Sewage and/or Industrial Wastes in computing sewer rentals or charges shall be the percentage do determined of the quantity measured by the water meter or meters. Any dispute as to such estimated percentage shall be submitted to this Borough, after notice of such estimate. The decision of this Borough with respect to the matter shall be final for the then current calendar year.
D. 
Whenever an Industrial Establishment shall discharge only Industrial Wastes into the Sewer System, the volume of water used, measured as herein provided, shall be used as a measure of the quantity of Industrial Wastes so discharged.
E. 
Whenever an Industrial Establishment shall discharge combined Sanitary Sewage and Industrial Wastes into the Sewer System, the volume of water used, measured as herein provided, chargeable as Industrial Wastes shall be the total volume of water used, less the volume of water determined to be Sanitary Sewage. The volume of water determined to be Sanitary Sewage shall be determined, at the option of this Borough, in either of the following ways: (a) actual measured flow; or (b) by multiplying the average number of employees in the Industrial Establishment during the calendar quarter annum preceding the time of billing by 650 gallons.
2. 
Measuring Devices. Meters or other measuring devices which shall not be provided in connection with the operation of the Water System, but which shall be required or permitted under provisions of this Part 2, shall be furnished an installed by the Owner of the Improved Property at his expense, shall be under the control of this Borough and may be tested, inspected or repaired by this Borough whenever necessary. The Owner of the Improved Property upon which such meter or other measuring device shall be installed shall be responsible for its maintenance and safekeeping; and all repairs thereto shall be made at the expense of the Owner, whether such repairs shall be made necessary by ordinary wear and tear or other causes. Bills for such repairs, if made by this Borough, shall be due and payable immediately upon connection of such repairs and shall be collected in the same manner as quarterly bills for sewer rentals or charges.
3. 
Meter Readings. This Borough shall be responsible for the reading of all meters or other measuring devices and the same shall be available to this Borough at all reasonable times.
[Ord. 100, 5/8/1973, § 7]
