Billing. Bills for water service are rendered monthly
and become due and payable upon issuance following the period for
which service is rendered. A late payment charge of 3% but not less
than $0.50 will be added to bills not paid within 20 days of issuance.
This one-time three-percent late payment charge will be applied only
to any unpaid balance for the current billing period's usage. This
late payment charge is applicable to all customers. The Utility customer
may be given a written notice that the bill is overdue no sooner than
20 days after the bill is issued. Unless payment or satisfactory arrangement
for payment is made within the next 10 days, service may be disconnected
pursuant to Chapter PSC 185, Wis. Adm. Code.

placed for the purpose of identifying water not discharged into the

be combined for billing. This requirement does not preclude the utility
from combining readings where metering configurations support such
an approach. Meter readings from individually metered separate service
laterals shall not be combined for billing purposes.

used shall be billed at the rate of $2 per 1,000 gallons.

service charge in Schedule Mg-1 will apply, prorated for a the period
in excess of 30 days that the meter is in place.
