If any bill for a water rate, charge and/or fee made to the customer pursuant to this Water Utility Code is not paid within the first sixteen (16) days after it is due, the customer shall be given written notice specifying that the bill is past due. The customer shall be given written notice specifying that the bill is delinquent, and outlining the procedure by which the customer may challenge the accuracy of the bill. If a delinquent bill is not paid at the office, and no challenge has been made to the accuracy of the bill within ten (10) days of the notice of delinquency, the water supply will, without further notice, be turned off, and not turned on until all sums due are paid in full, together with a charge for reconnection after delinquency as provided in Article 15-17. It is also decreed that any occupancy permits may not be issued until such time as any delinquent bill is paid in full, along with any charge for reconnection after delinquency. ((O)96-13, 03/25/1996)
