A. The customer is required to pay all fees and charges for water service to the City by the due date on the bill. The bill will become delinquent if not paid within two days after the due date.

B. If fees and charges for water service to any property become delinquent, written notice will be given in accordance with BC 4.02.185 and ORS 91.255. After compliance with BC 4.02.185, if all fees and charges imposed by these regulations have not been paid, or arrangements acceptable to the City made to pay by the specified date, no further water will be furnished to the property.

C. If water service is turned off because of a delinquent account, a service fee, the amount of which shall be established by council resolution, may be collected before service shall be restored. If the service is turned back on without authorization of the City the meter may be removed or padlocked, and an additional fee may be collected before service will be restored.

D. All water service fees and charges will be a lien against the property served from and after the date of billing and entry in the City lien docket. The lien docket will be made accessible for inspection by anyone interested in ascertaining the amount of the fees and charges against the property. When a bill for water service remains unpaid 60 days after it has been rendered, the lien created may be foreclosed in the manner provided for by ORS 223.610, or in any other manner provided by local or state law.
