§ 206-23. Charges against premises; failure to pay.

A. 

All charges for water, service pipe installation, repairs, damages caused by carelessness or neglect, penalties, etc., shall be made against the premises supplied, and the owner of the premises shall be held responsible therefor. Such charges, if not paid, shall be a lien on the property benefitted. All such unpaid charges shall be added to the next general tax against the property.

B. 

In the event a water bill remains unpaid for more than 60 days, or any charge as set forth in Subsection A above, the Town Board may, by resolution, cause the supply of public water to such property to be shut off after giving at least 10 days' written notice to the owner and occupant of the premises by conspicuously posting on the property a notice specifying the water shall be shut off on a date not less than 10 days thereafter, and mailing by certified mail addressed to the owner and occupants at least 10 days prior to the proposed shutoff date. Such notice shall advise the owner and occupants that the water supply to such property shall be shut off on the specified date for nonpayment of a water bill unless the unpaid water bill and penalty are paid in full to the Town Clerk prior to the specified date. The water supply to such property shall not be restored after shutoff until the unpaid water bill and penalties are paid in full.
