A.    All water service charges and all other charges provided for in this chapter are due and payable on presentation. If the charges remain unpaid for forty-five days after the billing date thereof, a service applicant's water service may be disconnected.

    B.    The finance director shall, at least ten days prior to the proposed termination, notify the service applicant by means of a notice mailed, postage prepaid; the ten day period shall not commence until five days after the date of mailing the notice. At least two days prior to the disconnection of service, the city shall hand deliver to the service address a notice that the service will be disconnected.

    C.    When an account becomes delinquent the full amount of the delinquent and current bill must be paid to avoid disconnecting the service.

    D.    When the supply of water has been turned off for a violation of any section of this chapter, such supply of water shall not be turned on again except upon payment of all charges due, together with an additional penalty for reconnection equal to twenty-five percent of the delinquent amount. An exception to this is that when the service applicant is not the property owner and there is a change in tenancy at a property, all charges due and penalties will continue to be billed to the service applicant that incurred the costs and service to a new service applicant may be provided.
