Water bills shall become due annually.
Bills may be obtained from the district after January 15 of each year
for subsurface service and May 15 for surface service. The collector of the
district will usually send out bills as an accommodation to the owner, but
the delivery of such bills to the proper party is not guaranteed. If the owner
does not get a bill on or before January 20 or May 20, depending on service
facilities, he should contact the district.
[Amended 12-27-2001 by Res. No. 168-01]
The above dates may be changed or revised by the Board as deemed necessary.
All bills for water consumption shall be due and payable to the collector
of the district on the due date listed on the invoice. The changed or revised
date shall be indicated on the annual bill. All payments received after the
due date shall be subject to a flat penalty of 20% of the total amount due.
The payment of water bills must include all arrears and charges to date.
No payment will be received which leaves a previous charge unpaid.
Water rates are a lien on the property. The Board may enforce the collection
of water bills by cutting off the supply when any bill is three months or
more in arrears.
All water rents must be paid by the owner of the premises when such
premises are leased by more than one tenant. Parties renting whole premises
and subletting may pay for the water on the whole premises, but the owner
remains responsible for the payment of the same in all cases.
