§ 13.20.010. Deposit required prior to service—Billing—Delinquency.
Latest version.
Effective March 1, 2003, no service shall be provided to a new or reconnected user
of the system, for premises not occupied by the owner thereof, until the user has
deposited the sum of seventy-five dollars with the village treasurer or collector.
If the seventy-five-dollar deposit is not made before service provided, for whatever
reason, and is not paid within thirty days after service has begun, it shall be deemed
and declared to be delinquent. The seventy-five-dollar deposit shall be applied against
any liquidated damages or bills or charges in arrears by the user or shall be returned
to the user upon discontinuance of service if all bills and proper charges to the
customer have been paid at the time of discontinuance. The owner of the premises,
the occupant thereof, and the user of the service shall be jointly and severally liable
to pay for the services on such premises and the service furnished to the premises
by the village. All bills for service shall be rendered as of the first day of the
month succeeding the period for which the service is billed and shall be due and payable
on the fifteenth day of the same month. A penalty of ten percent shall be added to
all bills not paid by the due date. When the fifteenth day of any month shall be a
Sunday or legal holiday, the bills for service shall be due and payable on the next
succeeding secular day without any additional penalty.
