All services provided and invoiced by the Bristol Bay Borough will apply a fifteen percent interest rate per annum on all delinquent accounts and a twenty-five dollar monthly service charge on all delinquent accounts.
The interest shall be applied on the first day of delinquency and shall be to the invoice date.
(Ord. 2005-11 (part), 2005; Ord. 2009-10 (part), 2009)
A. 
The borough shall send a notice of account delinquency to each delinquent customer on or after ten days after the account becomes delinquent. An account is delinquent if not paid in full within thirty days of its due date.
B. 
After thirty days of its due date, the outstanding balance will be charged interest at the rate of fifteen percent per annum, plus a twenty-five dollar monthly service charge on all delinquent accounts. The borough's failure to send a notice or a bill for services does not in any way affect or reduce the borough's remedies nor relieve or reduce responsibility for full payment.
C. 
On or after sixty days after the account becomes delinquent, the borough may send a notice of delinquency to the customer and property owner. The notice shall state a date on or after which additional collection procedures including small claims filing may initiate should the account remain delinquent. Such date will not be less than ninety days from the date of delinquency and thirty days from date of notice. Delivery of the notice to the premises served, and mailing the notice to the address on record of the customer and property owner, shall be considered effective notice to both the customer and the property owner.
D. 
That each customer, each owner, and each purchaser of property receiving borough services shall be jointly and severally liable to the borough for services including service fees, interest thereon, and any costs, including actual attorney's fees incurred by the borough in connection with its efforts to collect same. In the event that borough services are not timely paid, the borough shall, from and after the date such payment becomes delinquent, have a lien against the property owned by the customer to whom services were or are provided for the amount of the services, interest, costs and actual attorney's fees hereinabove provided. The borough may foreclose such liens in the same manner as real property tax liens are foreclosed (AS 29.45.290 et seq.).
