(1) Water bills will be mailed directly to the property
owner on record with the Township Tax Assessor.
(2) Said property owner will be responsible for the payment
of the quarterly water bills as well as any delinquent or unpaid balances.
(3) The nonreceipt of a bill will not constitute an excuse
for failure to pay.
B. The property owner shall have a thirty-calendar-day
grace period from the date the same became payable in which to remit
full payment for the same. In the event that full payment is not made
by the 30th calendar day the same became payable, the property owner
shall be charged interest which shall accrue retroactively to the
date the same became payable. The rate of interest on delinquent bills
shall be the same as that for unpaid taxes upon real estate.
C. If a bill remains unpaid after the 30th calendar day
following the date upon which the same became payable, it shall be
classified as delinquent, and upon five days' notice to the property
owner, service may be discontinued. If service is discontinued, it
shall not be restored until all arrears with interest, costs and penalties
are fully paid. The township shall have the same remedies for the
collection of arrears with interest, costs and penalties as it has
by law for the collection of taxes upon real estate.
Pursuant to the laws of the State of New Jersey,
all charges for water, including penalties, are liens upon the premises
or property on account of which such charge is incurred until paid
and satisfied.
