Connection charge. A service charge shall be made for connecting

to the premises for which the new service is requested. The particular
fee as imposed and established will be set by resolution of the Borough
Council.
E.
Minimum rates. All metered customers shall be subject to a quarterly
minimum charge based on the required size of meter to render adequate
service. The customers shall pay the minimum charge even though the
amount resulting by applying the meter rate to the quantity of water
consumed is less than the minimum charge. When such amount is greater
than said minimum charge, then the greater amount shall constitute
the bill for service rendered. The particular fee as imposed and established
will be set by resolution of the Borough Council.
The rates established herein shall be payable quarterly. The
charges imposed constitute the net bill. If water rentals or charges
are not paid within 20 calendar days after each quarterly billing
date, an additional sum of 5% for each quarter or part thereof that
the bill remains unpaid shall be added to such net bill. Payment made
or mailed and postmarked on or before the last day of said twenty-calendar-day
period shall constitute the payment within such period. If the end
of such twenty-calendar-day period shall fall on a legal holiday or
Sunday, payment made or mailed and postmarked on the next succeeding
weekday which is not a legal holiday shall constitute payment within
such period.
