Billing Procedures
Charges for water services under
this schedule shall be made a part of the current
monthly water bill, to be shown by separate item on such bill. Separate payment of either
the charge for the water or the charge for the waste water will not be accepted without prior
approval of the Administrative Services Director.
Both charges must be paid at the same
time; partial payments will be applied to the waste water charge first, with any remainder
being applied to the water charge.
Charges for water used and waste
water service charges become due and payable
upon receipt of the bill. If any bill is not paid on or before the fifteenth day of that month,
it will then become delinquent; and if not paid in full by the fifteenth day of the following
month, water service to the premises involved may be discontinued, after a ten-day written
notice. A charge of fifteen
dollars ($15.00) during regular business hours or thirty-five
dollars ($35.00) during non-business hours shall be made for reinstating a water service
which has been discontinued for non-payment of water/or and waste water service charges.
Section 4
Protests
In cases where water service
charges under this schedule are claimed to be unfair,
unreasonable or not in proportion to charges made to other water customers, the person or
persons against whom such charges are made may apply to the City Manager for an
- 2 -
adjustment, stating the circumstances. The City Manager, or his designated representative,
may make such adjustment of the water charges as is deemed necessary, fair and equitable.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Commission of the City of Bozeman, Montana,
at a regular session thereof held on the 3rd day of June 1996; and effective beginning with
that billing period which will first appear on the July 1, 1996, water billing.
