The sewage service charges imposed by this Bylaw shall commence at and from the time the premises are occupied. No sewer charges will be levied during any period when the premises are vacant and the water services have been disconnected. Any balance outstanding after thirty (30) days from billing date will be subject to a three per-cent (3%) per month interest charge. If an account is not paid in full by the due date as indicated on the invoice, a Final Warning Notice will be sent to the consumer stating that the arrears and any accumulated interest are to be paid within fifteen (15) days. At the expiration of the date on the Final Warning Notice, if no payment has been received, the order for disconnection will be prepared by the Chief Administrative Officer and issued to the Public Works Department. The only method of stopping the Final Warning process or actual disconnection of the water service is payment of the arrears in full or payment arrangements as specified in section 3.11 below. 3.11 Consumers may make arrangements for payment of utility arrears prior to the disconnection of service in the following manner: a) by making a 50% payment of the amount indicated on the Final Warning Notice; and b) by making a guaranteed payment (i.e. certified cheque, e-transfer, internet banking, cash or debit/credit card) for the balance of the arrears, payable no later than the end of the month next following. Otherwise, water service shall be disconnected without further notice. 3.12 If an account is not paid within the period of 30 days, the water service may be disconnected without further notice. When the water service is disconnected, it shall not be turned on until all arrears have been paid, together with a fee of $100.00 (one hundred dollars) to cover the expenses of turning off the water and turning it on again; provided that if it is required to turn on the water service outside the employees’ regular working hours, the fee shall be $125.00 (one hundred twenty-five dollars). 3.13 When a seasonal water service cut off is requested by a homeowner there shall be a fee of $50.00 (fifty dollars) to cover the expenses of turning off the water and turning it on again, provided that if it is required to turn on the water service outside the employees’ regular working hours, the fee shall be $100.00 (one hundred dollars). 3.14 The Town of Wolseley shall have the right to ration or limit water furnished to any or all consumers should circumstances seem to warrant such action. 4.
