  • (a)

    Delinquency.

    (1)

    Accounts billed in arrears. If payment on any account billed in arrears is not received within twenty (20) days following the date of the bill, a late charge equal to ten per cent (10%) of the unpaid balance shall be added thereto. If payment on any account billed in arrears is not received within twenty-nine (29) days of the date of the bill, the account shall be considered delinquent, and service on the account will be discontinued. In the event service is scheduled with the city's contractor to be discontinued, service shall be restored only after all delinquent and current charges on the account are paid, along with a fifteen-dollar ($15.00) service continuation charge and a five-dollar ($5.00) reinstatement fee if service has actually been terminated. In no case will the combined refuse service continuation fees and any other utility service continuation fees exceed twenty dollars ($20.00) for each occurrence.

    (2)

    Accounts billed in advance. If payment on any account billed in advance is not received within twenty-nine (29) days following the date of the bill, a late charge equal to ten per cent (10%) of the unpaid balance shall be added thereto. If payment on any account billed in advance is not received within fifty-nine (59) days of the date of the bill, the account shall be considered delinquent, and service on the account will be discontinued. In the event service is scheduled with the city's contractor to be discontinued, service shall be restored only after all delinquent and current charges on the account are paid, along with a fifteen-dollar ($15.00) service continuation charge and a five-dollar ($5.00) reinstatement fee if service has actually been terminated.

    (b)

    Liens. Any unpaid garbage and trash collection fees shall constitute a lien against the property when such fees are for an account in the name of the property owner, which lien shall be prior to all other liens on such property except the liens of the state, county and municipal taxes and shall be on a parity with the lien of such state, county and municipal taxes. Such lien, when delinquent for more than thirty (30) days, may be foreclosed by the city in the manner provided by the laws of the state for the foreclosure of mortgages on real property.
