Charges for water used and wastewater service charges become due and payable upon

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-

for non~payment
of water and/or wastewater service charges.

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
