Latest version.
  • In the case of water main extensions completed on or after January 1, 1928, in accordance with rules and regulations of the department heretofore in effect, paralleling the provision of Plan 3 as provided for by Section 401-14, where, by inadvertence or oversight, water tap connections have been made to a building without the previous collection of the amounts chargeable in accordance with said plan, the superintendent shall bill the owner of such premises for the amounts due and payable. If the amount of such charges shall not be paid at or before the next regular water payment date occurring not less than 30 days after the date of such billing, the water supply for such premises shall be shut off as in the case of unpaid water bills and shall not be turned on again until the amount of such bill shall be paid or provided for. In the case of amounts in excess of $25, the superintendent shall be authorized, on application of the property owner, to allow payment to be made in not more than four quarterly payments, no payment, however, except the final one, to be less than $10.
