Bills will be mailed to the owner. Checks or money orders for the payment of water bills and water charges shall be made payable to Amawalk Heights Water District. Meters will be read and bills rendered at regular quarterly intervals. Bills for the previous quarter shall be due and payable within 30 days. If bills remain unpaid at the end of 60 days after they become due, the water may be shut off and shall not be turned on again until the bill is paid. The cost to turn the service back on will be as set forth in the fee schedule duly adopted by the Town Board.[1]

Editor's Note: The Water District Fee Schedule is included as an attachment to this chapter.
The payment of water bills must include all arrears and charges to date. No payment will be received which leaves a previous charge unpaid. Unpaid water bills are a lien on the property. When unpaid water charges are placed on the annual tax roll, a penalty of 10% of such charges shall be added thereto. If requested by the owner, the Town Board will send bills to and receive payments from agents or tenants; it should be noted, however, that the owner is responsible for the payment of water bills.
Service of any notice, authorized or directed by or on behalf of the Water District, may be made upon the owner or consumer personally or by leaving the notice at the premises where water is supplied or by sending the same by mail to such party at the last address furnished to the Water District.
