Assistance Program, as set forth in Section 15-6-134 MCA, will receive a credit equal to
their monthly stormwater service charge listed above.
Section 5—Billing Procedures
Charges for stormwater 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, wastewater, or stormwater service will not be accepted without
prior approval of the Director of Finance.
Charges for stormwater service 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 (shut-off), after a ten-day written
notice. A charge of twenty five dollars ($25.00) shall be made for any account requiring
written shut-off notice. An additional charge of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) during
regular business hours or seventy-five dollars ($75.00) during non-business hours shall be
made for reinstating a water service which has been discontinued for non-payment of
water, wastewater and/or stormwater service charges.

For those accounts that become delinquent, a 1.5 percent (1.5%) late fee will be assessed
on the next bill. The minimum late fee shall be $1.00.
Section 8 —Protests
In cases where stormwater service charges under this schedule are claimed to be unfair,
unreasonable, or not in proportion to charges made to other stormwater 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 stormwater charges as is deemed
necessary, fair and equitable.
