Bills will be mailed to the owner. Checks or money orders for
the payment of water bills and water charges shall be made payable
to Amawalk Heights Water District. Meters will be read and bills rendered
at regular quarterly intervals. Bills for the previous quarter shall
be due and payable within 30 days. If bills remain unpaid at the end
of 60 days after they become due, the water may be shut off and shall
not be turned on again until the bill is paid. The cost to turn the
service back on will be as set forth in the fee schedule duly adopted
by the Town Board.[1]

Editor's Note: The Water District Fee Schedule is included
as an attachment to this chapter.
The payment of water bills must include all arrears and charges
to date. No payment will be received which leaves a previous charge
unpaid. Unpaid water bills are a lien on the property. When unpaid
water charges are placed on the annual tax roll, a penalty of 10%
of such charges shall be added thereto. If requested by the owner,
the Town Board will send bills to and receive payments from agents
or tenants; it should be noted, however, that the owner is responsible
for the payment of water bills.
Service of any notice, authorized or directed by or on behalf
of the Water District, may be made upon the owner or consumer personally
or by leaving the notice at the premises where water is supplied or
by sending the same by mail to such party at the last address furnished
to the Water District.
