A. 
Any bill unpaid 30 days after the date indicated on the bill shall be classified as delinquent and shall be charged at the maximum statutory interest rate per month calculated from the original due date. Any bill unpaid 45 days after presentation shall be subject to discontinuance of service after not less than five days' written notice.
B. 
If service is discontinued for non-payment of the account, it will not be restored until the "turn-on-fee" (payable by check or cash), plus all unpaid charges and interest are paid or satisfactory arrangements have been made for payment (See Rate Schedule).[1]

Editor's Note: Appendix B, Fee, Penalty and Charges Schedules is included as an attachment to this chapter.
C. 
If the check used for payment is returned by the bank for any reason, a processing fee will be charged against the account (See Rate Schedule).
D. 
Any unpaid balance of service charges and interest thereon shall be a lien against the property and action shall be initiated pursuant to the procedures specified under N.J.S.A. 40:14A-1 et seq.
E. 
Notice of delinquent charges shall be given to Township officials periodically and shall be given annually to the Tax Collector of Allamuchy 30 days prior to the Township posting notice of tax sale.
Service may, at the sole discretion of the Township, be discontinued for any of the following reasons:
A. 
Misrepresentation in application.
B. 
Waste of water through improper or imperfect pipes, fixtures, or otherwise.
C. 
Use of sewer for any other property or purpose than that described in the application.
D. 
Tampering with any service pipe, or any other appliance of the Township.
E. 
Non-payment of any charge accruing under the application.
F. 
Refusal of reasonable access to the property for purposes of inspecting, reading, repairing, or removing meters and/or plumbing.
G. 
Making, or refusing to sever any cross connection between a pipe or fixture furnished by the Township and a pipe or fixture from any other source.
H. 
Non-payment of bills within time prescribed.
I. 
Violation of any rules of the Township.
Service will be renewed when the conditions under which such service was disconnected are corrected and upon payment of all accrued charges provided in the schedule of rates or rules of the Township.
A. 
Upon the connection to a sewer for an improved and usable property, the obligation to pay the minimum quarterly service charge continues despite the failure to occupy the property or to use the sewer facilities, so long as the building or structure on the property is still available for use and the sewer facilities remain available.
B. 
Without written notice, it shall be assumed that connections are or may be active, thereby requiring sewer service. Charges will therefore continue until written notice of discontinuance is provided.
Form of payment may be by check, US currency or money order, except for "turn-on fee" which is payable in cash only. The Township reserves the right to refuse payment rendered in significant amounts of coin. For any property on tax title lien, or any account where a check was returned by the bank, payment must be in certified check, money order, or US currency.
In the event that a sewer lateral service will be permanently discontinued, the Township shall be notified in writing so that the service billing will be terminated. The property owner must file Form E-5[1] for disconnection of sewerage facilities, and the sewer lateral shall be permanently sealed watertight by the Township, or by the property owner in a manner subject to the approval of inspection by the Township, with all costs of review and field observation incurred by the Township being borne by the property owner.
