A. A statement for domestic water service charges and irrigation water service charges shall be provided to customers at intervals established by the Town Manager and ratified by resolution of the Town Council, but billing intervals shall not be more frequent than monthly nor less frequent than quarterly. Statements may include any additional charges, tolls, fees and assessments related to sewer utility service and refuse collection service and may include charges, tolls, fees and assessments for such matters as late payment penalties, turn-on fees, disconnection fees, duplicate bill fees, additional meter reading fees, meter testing fees, and other similar charges.

B. Whenever possible, statements for service charges will be directed to the owner of premises served by the Town’s domestic water system and irrigation system rather than the occupant in accordance with PMC 9.17.060. When a customer receives domestic water service for a number of units through one (1) meter, the Town shall send only one (1) bill to the customer for the service measured by that meter. In no event shall the Town bill the owners of individual units within a multiple unit building unless service to each unit is metered separately, unless such service has previously been established.

C. If a payment is received by the Town in response to a combined billing statement as set forth in subsection (B) of this section, such payment shall first be credited towards the oldest charges still outstanding at the time.

D. Statements shall be mailed by the Town to water customers before the specified billing period and shall be payable by the date set forth on the statement. Amounts outstanding after thirty (30) days following the due date shall become delinquent and accrue interest at the rate of one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) per month.
