(A)

Meters will be read monthly; bills rendered monthly, but the town reserves the right to vary the dates or lengths of period covered, temporarily or permanently, if necessary or desirable.

(B)

Bills for water will be figured in accordance with the town's published rate schedule then in effect and will be based on the amount consumed for the period covered by the meter readings.

(C)

Charge for service commences when the meter is installed and connection made, whether used or not. Sixty days may be allowed for hookup on initial installation of the water system.

(D)

Readings from different meters will not be combined for billing, irrespective of the fact that the meters may be for the same or different premises, or for the same or different consumers, or for the same or different services.

(E)

Bills are due when rendered and become delinquent ten days thereafter, whereupon a penalty of ten percent will be added; and, if not paid in 30 days, service may be discontinued by the town.

(F)

Failure to receive bills or notices shall not prevent the bills from becoming delinquent or relieve the consumer from payment.
