§ 98-111. Same—Payment, delinquency, disconnection.

All accounts for sewer services rendered shall be payable each month in advance at the utility office upon the date as provided for water and sewer billing by the utility billing department. Bills for sewer service shall be rendered monthly, and any person who shall fail to pay the sewer fee due by him after same shall have become due, shall be subject to having his service for his building, house or other structure discontinued by the city. When the sewer service has been discontinued and the sewer line disconnected from the property of any party for failure to pay any adopted fees or charges, or for any violations of this Chapter, no connection to any such building, house or structure and the sewer line therefrom with the sewer system of the city shall again be made until the owner of said property shall first make written application for said reconnection on blanks furnished by the city, and pay all sewer fee past due for service for any such building, house or structure to the city or its contracted parties, together with such service charge for resumption of service and all costs of disconnection and reconnection of any such sewer line with the city sewer system as established by the city; provided in case of nonpayment of sewer charge where users property is connected with the city water system, the city shall have the right to discontinue water service, even though charges made for water service have been paid. Sewer charges shall be deemed to be a charge against the property regardless of change of occupancy or ownership. All deposits made by users of city water, as required by the city ordinance to guarantee payment of water bills, may also be applied to pay delinquent or defaulting sewer service charges of the user who made the deposit.
