All persons connected to the sewerage system
must give the City their correct address. Failure of any person to
receive bills for sewer rentals and charges due to the failure of
such person to notify the City of his correct address or failure of
any person to receive a correct bill for sewer rentals and charges
by reason of the failure to notify the City of the use or uses of
a property or any portion thereof shall not excuse nonpayment or failure
to pay the amount which would be properly applicable to the use or
uses of said property and shall not result in an extension of the
period of time during which the bill shall be payable at face amount.
Payment shall be made and received on or before the due date in order
to constitute timely payment. If the due date shall fall on a legal
holiday or a Sunday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding
weekday which is not a legal holiday in order to constitute timely
payment.
