Billina 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 wastewater 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 wastewater charge first, with any remainder being applied
to the water charge.
Charges for water used and wastewater 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 twenty-five dollars ($25.00) during regular business hours or fifty dollars ($50.00) during non.
business hours shall be made for reinstating a water service which has been discontinued for
non-payment of water and/or wastewater 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 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.
