Prior to the adoption of 2001 (13-15) on 11/12/2001, Section 13-15 read as follows. (a) Meters shall be read at intervals of approximately one (1) month and bills mailed as soon thereafter as is practical. The charges, which shall be for all utility services up to the latest meter reading, shall be due and payable when rendered. (b) Upon the twenty-first day from the billing date of the bill for services, if the bill shall remain unpaid, it shall be declared delinquent. On the 26th day after the billing date, a disconnect order shall be generated and a twenty dollar ($20.00) disconnect fee charged. The disconnect fee must be paid even if services are not cut out. After service has been discontinued for nonpayment of a bill, such service shall not be reconnected until satisfactory arrangements have been made to pay all arrears including the twenty dollar ($20.00) disconnect fee. If service is cut in at a time other than normal working hours an additional twelve dollar ($12.00) after hours delinquent cut in fee will be collected. Any delinquent cutout which is not reconnected within thirty (30) days from the date of cut-off shall be considered as a seasonal cutout, and any seasonal charges applicable shall be applied in addition to delinquent fees. To any amount remaining unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of any bill, there will be added an additional one (1) percent for each successive thirty-day period thereafter until paid in full. (c) A charge of twenty dollars ($20.00) may be required for a customer-requested meter test, if the accuracy proves to be within industry standards. No charge will be made for a customer-requested meter test if accuracy is not within the industry standards. The requirement and amount of this charge shall be determined by the superintendent of the water and light department in accordance with these guidelines. (Code 1958, 18-13; Ord. of 6-22-92; Ord. of 6-14-93)
