Chapter 13.12 UTILITY BILLINGS
Section 13.12.050 Delinquent accounts.
If payment by the user for utility services provided by the
City is not received within thirty
(30) days after the service date as shown on the utility bill, the amount billed to the user then
becomes delinquent. A one and one-half (1-1/2) percent delinquent charge shall be added to all
delinquent accounts for each month of delinquency. Within ten (10) days from the time that the
amount billed to the user has become delinquent, the utility department is to then send a notice to
the utility user indicating that the bill has become delinquent and that the user has ten (10)
calendar days from the date that the delinquency notice was sent to pay in full to the City the
delinquent amount and all delinquent charges. If such amount is not paid, water service will be
disconnected by Vernal City to that property. The same shall not be turned on again until all
arrears have been paid in full for services furnished and an additional payment of twenty (20)
dollars has been paid to the City Treasurer for the City to resume such services to the property.
