thereon, shall be fully paid to the Township.

In addition, in the event that any service charge of the Township
with regard to any parcel of real property shall not be paid as and
when due, the Township may, in its discretion, enter upon such parcel
and cause any connection or connections thereof leading directly or
indirectly to or from the utility system to be cut and shut off until
such service charge and any subsequent service charge with regard
to such parcel and all interest accrued thereon shall be fully paid
to the Township.
(b)

charged by law with the duty of enforcing municipal liens on real

realized upon such enforcement or upon liquidation of any property
acquired by the municipality by virtue of such enforcement.
(c)

shall not be paid as and when due, the unpaid balance thereof and

of sewer service charge at the minimum rates as established by the
Township during the time the property or structure is vacant.
[3]
The Township will provide relief from sewer fees to any customer
who suffers a catastrophe that would cause the sewer connection to
be unusable for a period of at least 90 days, as certified by the
Township Construction Official. Fees will recur on the date of the
new certificate of occupancy, and rates will be amortized to assure
payment for each day of possible use.
(e)
Deposits.
[1]
The Township may, in its discretion, require deposits from customers
requesting service for a period of less than 90 days in an amount
equal to two times the estimated bill for the service requested, plus
the cost of making and discontinuing said service.
[2]
The Township may require deposits from customers who are habitually
delinquent in payment of their bills. The Township may require that
service charges shall be paid in advance for a period of not more
than one year.
[3]
Deposits may be required from customers who have claimed bankruptcy
and have had all or a portion of any Township bills discharged in
bankruptcy. The Township may require that the estimated service charge
to such customer be paid in advance for periods of not more than one
year.
[4]
No interest shall be paid on deposits.
(f)
Disputed bills.
[1]
Any customer that disputes a bill rendered by the Township for sewer
service shall bring the disputed bill to the attention of the Township
within 30 days of the issuance of the bill. Said dispute shall be
presented to the Township in writing, stating the exact portion of
the bill that is in dispute and the reasons why the bill is in dispute.
[2]
The Township shall investigate the bill dispute presented by the
customer and shall receive whatever supporting evidence that customer
may wish to present and shall determine whether the disputed bill
is valid or is invalid in whole or in part. In the event that the
Township determines that any or all of the disputed bill is due, and
that amount exceeds the amount paid by the customer under the temporary
estimated bill, the difference shall be paid by the customer within
14 days after notification is sent by the Township. After said fourteen-day
period, the bill shall be classified as delinquent.
(g)
Service charge payment schedule. The aforesaid service charge as
set forth herein shall be payable in accordance with the current Township
