[Adopted 12-22-1980 by L.L. No. 12-1980]
A.
All sewer rates are payable quarterly, ending on the
last day of the months of February, May, August and November, and
the minimum rate shall be payable even though no water is consumed,
so long as the service shall be considered as connected with the district
main, unless shut off by authority of the district at the curb box
or otherwise at the request of the owner. The minimum rate shall be
payable even though the water has been shut off when such discontinuance
has been made by someone not authorized by the district.
C.
Such sewer rates shall be payable for each of the
four quarters of the year and shall be subject to the penalties hereinafter
provided.
A.
All sewer bills shall be due and payable within 32
days of the billing date. After the expiration of 32 days, a penalty
equal to 10% of the amount unpaid shall be added to that bill for
that quarter.
B.
Said sewer charges shall constitute a lien upon the
real properties served by the sewer system of the district, and such
lien shall be prior and superior to every other lien or claim except
the lien of an existing tax, assessment, water rate, sewer rent or
other lawful charge imposed by the town.
If any owner of real property on which a sewer
charge has been imposed deems himself aggrieved because such real
property is not served by the sewer system or an error has been made
in computing such sewer charge, he may file an application for a refund
of all or part of such sewer charge. Such application shall be verified
by him and shall set forth the amount of refund sought and the grounds
therefor. Such application shall be presented to the Town Comptroller,
and he shall forward such application to the Town Board with his recommendations
in relation thereto. The Town Board may refund all or part of such
sewer charge.
