All bills must be paid within 30 days of the date of the bill.
Any bill remaining unpaid after 30 days will be assessed at
1.16% a month up to one year.
If bills remain unpaid after two billing periods or one year,
the bill will be added to yearly property tax with interest for one
year.
[Amended 11-18-2013 by Ord. No. 1563]
When ownership changes, the name and address of the new owner
must be registered with the Department of Public Works office. Failure
of the owner or consumer to receive a bill does not relieve the owner
or consumer from an obligation of payment nor consequences of its
nonpayment.
[Amended 11-18-2013 by Ord. No. 1563]
Abatements or rebates for water service will not be made unless
a written notice is filed in the office of the Department of Public
Works within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Persons aggrieved
by the Director's action on water-related items can appeal to the
Public Service Committee appointed by the President of the City Council.
The Commitee's decision shall be final.
[Amended 12-3-2001 by Ord. No. 1357]
The sewer entrance fee, remediation fee, and inspection fee
must be paid in advance.
