C. 
Billing. Bills for water service are rendered quarterly and become due and payable upon issuance following the period for which service is rendered. A late payment charge of 3%, but not less than $0.50, will be added to bills not paid within 20 days of issuance. This one-time three-percent late payment charge will be applied only to any unpaid balance for the current billing period’s usage. This late payment charge is applicable to all customers. The utility customer may be given a written notice that the bill is overdue no sooner than 20 days after the bill is issued. Unless payment or satisfactory arrangement for payment is made within the next 10 days, service may be disconnected pursuant to Chapter PSC 185, Wis. Admin. Code.
D. 
Combined metering. Volumetric meter readings will be combined for billing if the utility for its own convenience places more than one meter on a single water service lateral. Multiple meters placed for the purpose of identifying water not discharged into the sanitary sewer are not considered for utility convenience and shall not be combined for billing. This requirement does not preclude the utility from combining readings where metering configurations support such an approach. Meter readings from individually metered separate service laterals shall not be combined for billing purposes.
A. 
Where the utility cannot immediately install its water meter, service may be supplied temporarily on an unmetered basis. Such service shall be billed at the rate of $67.40 per quarter. This rate shall be applied only to single-family residential and small commercial customers and approximates the cost of 11,000 gallons of water per quarter under Schedule MG-1 (§ 294-3). If it is determined by the utility that usage is in excess of 11,000 gallons per quarter, an additional charge per Schedule MG-1 will be made for the estimated additional usage.
[Amended 9-27-2011]
B. 
Billing: same as Schedule MG-1 (294-3).
[Amended 9-27-2011]

B. 
Water used on an intermittent basis for flushing sewers, street sprinkling, flooding skating rinks, drinking fountains, etc., shall be metered where meters can be set to measure the service. Where it is impossible to measure the service, the superintendent shall estimate the volume of water used based on the pressure, size of opening, and period of time water is allowed to be drawn. The estimated quantity used shall be billed at the rate of $4 per 1,000 gallons.
C. 
Billing: Same as Schedule Mg-1.
[Amended 3-1-2010 by Res. No. 2010-3; 9-27-2011]

In addition, for meters that are assigned to bulk water customers for more than 30 days, the applicable service charge in Schedule Mg-1 will apply after the first 30 days.

Subdivision developers shall be responsible, where the main extension has been approved by the utility, for the water service, lateral installation costs from the main through the curb stop and box.
B. 
When the cost of a utility main extension is to be collected through assessment by the municipality, the actual average water lateral installation costs from the main through the curb stop and box shall be included in the assessment of the appropriate properties.
C. 
The initial water service lateral(s), not installed as part of a subdivision development or an assessable utility extension, will be installed from the main through the curb stop and box by the utility, for which the actual cost will be charged.

Buildings used in the same business, located on the same parcel and served by a single lateral may have the customer's water supply piping installed to a central point so that volume can be metered in one place.
Water customers residing outside the corporate limits of the City of Manawa shall be billed at the regular rates for service (Schedule MG-1, § 294-3), plus a surcharge of 25%.
