Effective July 1, 1990, principal owners of buildings with multiple tenants shall be sent utility bills for their respective buildings.
B. 
The Town Manager shall notify, in writing, all principal owners of buildings affected by this article to advise them of this article and the delinquent status, if any, of their tenants.
C. 
For owners who, at their expense, have new structures built or existing structures modified so that each tenant is served by a separate water meter and shutoff, the owner may request that the utility bill be sent to the tenant. This does not exempt the owner from any delinquent bills that may occur.

Charges for water, sewer and waste collection shall be billed quarterly. Each quarter's charges are due and payable upon receipt. Any quarter's charges not paid within 30 days after the billing date are subject to a late payment charge in the amount of 10% of the amount of the quarterly charges.

An employee who is not being paid because of a furlough is eligible to receive the following temporary relief from the payment of a Town utility bill during the furlough as follows:
(1) 
The employee may defer until the due date for the following quarterly utility bill the payment of a utility bill that is due at the beginning of, or comes due during, the furlough.
(2) 
Late charges shall not apply to the amount of any utility bill whose payment is so deferred if payment in full is made by the date that the next utility bill is due. If payment in full of a deferred utility bill is not made by the due date of the next quarterly utility bill, late charges shall be assessed on the amount deferred, retroactively to its original due date.
