13.05.155 Basis for monthly billing.

(A) All consumption charges for water service shall be calculated upon the registration of the meter based on the rates schedule.

(B) The utility will make an effort to read meters at least monthly and such reading shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of water consumed.

(1) If the utility is unable to gain access to a customer’s inside or reliable remote meter, the average of previous meter readings will be the basis for billing. The first billing made after the inside or reliable remote meter is read shall be adjusted according to the meter reading.

(2) If the utility reasonably believes that the average of previous meter readings will render an insufficient consumption, an estimate of consumption may be determined by the billing authority. The first billing made after the inside or reliable remote meter is read shall be adjusted according to the meter reading.

(3) No more than three consecutive estimated billings will be permitted; after that, the utility will provide notice that the consumer or property owner has 10 days to contact the utility in order to schedule a time for which the utility may send a representative to verify the meter reading.

(4) Failure to contact the utility, or failure to keep a scheduled time for reading verification, absent a showing of reasonable cause, will subject the consumer or property owner to disconnection of water service and the associated charges, until a verification of the meter reading is made.

(C) Where water is taken through more than one meter, and where such arrangement is for the convenience of the customer, then each meter shall be read and billed separately. Where water is taken from more than one main or more than one meter for the convenience of the utility, then the meter readings shall be aggregated and billed as one reading.

(D) All water passing through meters shall be charged, whether used, wasted, or lost through leakage.

(E) In the event it is determined that the meter malfunctioned or there is a discrepancy between the inside meter and the exterior meter reading device, a credit shall be issued based on the prior year average use. Under no circumstance will the credit be given for more than one year of malfunctioned or discrepancy use. [Ord. 1669-2021 § 1.]

13.05.160 Turn-on fee for water service disconnected.

Where water service has been discontinued for nonpayment of charges, the water shall not be again turned on until the delinquent consumer has paid all charges due and $50.00 to pay the cost of turning off and on the water. [Ord. 1087-2002; Ord. 911-96, 1996. Code 2000 § 52.38; Code 1981 § 13.16.030.]

13.05.170 Delinquent account – Water shutoff.

(A) The city will discontinue utility service to customers because of nonpayment of bills only after notice and a meaningful opportunity to be heard on disputed bills and discontinuance of service. All bills shall contain, in addition to the title, address, room number, and telephone number of the official in charge of billing, clearly visible and easily readable provisions to the effect:

(1) That all bills are due and payable on or before the date set forth on the bill.

(2) That if any bill is not paid by or before that date, and the next monthly billing indicates a past due balance of $40.00 or more from the previous month, a disconnect notice will be mailed stating that if the bill for both months is not paid in full within 20 days of the date of the disconnect notice, service will be discontinued for nonpayment.

(3) The city shall have no liability or responsibility to provide service to any user, residence, or business where there exists an outstanding bill.

(a) If a final bill is owed by a renter, s/he will not be allowed any utility service until the final bill is paid in full.

(b) If an owner of a property owes a final bill either in his or her name or the uncollected sewer, stormwater, or trash portion of a final bill in a previous renter’s name, utility service will be denied for the property until the final bill is paid in full.

(4) Repealed by Ord. 1659-2020.

(5) That any customer disputing the disconnect notice and discontinuance of service may request a hearing within 10 days of the date of the past due utility bill notice.

The hearing will be scheduled and conducted by the Board of Public Works and Safety. Notice of the time and place of the hearing will be sent by first class mail to the billing address of record and, if different, to the service address. Service will continue until a decision is issued.

(B) Requests for delays or waiver of payment will not be entertained; only questions of proper and correct billing and whether the service should be disconnected will be considered. In the absence of payment of the bill rendered or resort to the hearing procedure provided herein, service will be discontinued at the time specified, but in no event until the charges have been due and unpaid for at least 30 days.

(C) When it becomes necessary for the city to discontinue utility service to a customer for nonpayment of bills, service will be reinstated only after all bills for service then due have been paid, along with a turn-on charge as established by the Common Council.

(D) In the event a customer is a critical facility, utility service will not be disconnected until the customer is contacted by phone or email. Critical facilities are defined as:

(1) Structures or facilities that produce, use, or store highly volatile, flammable, explosive, toxic, and/or water reactive materials;

(2) Hospitals, nursing homes, and housing likely to contain occupants who may not be sufficiently mobile;

(3) Police stations, fire stations, vehicle and equipment storage facilities, and emergency operations centers that are needed for response activities;
