Latest version.
The granting by the city of the privilege of connecting with and using the sanitary
sewer system of the city to any persons, firms or corporation shall constitute nothing
more than a license to use the sanitary sewer system of the city which may be revoked
by the city at any time. If the service charges provided by the terms of this chapter,
as amended, are not paid by the person, firm or corporation incurring same on or before
the 15th day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which said service
charge is incurred by the person, firm or corporation, then the city shall have the
right to sever the connection with its sanitary sewer system of the sewer for which
said charge is owed, with such service to be restored only after the payment of all
past due sewer service charges together with the aforesaid penalty equal to ten percent
of said past due sewer service charges, and a service charge equal to the cost to
the city of connecting said disconnected sewer to the sanitary sewer system of the
city.
