The Water Division shall render bills each month, based on a monthly reading and a monthly rate, to all water consumers of the City for the water consumed, such bill to be mailed or delivered by the Water Division not later than 10 business days following the date of the reading. All meters shall be read monthly, or as near monthly as practicable unless an estimate of consumption is necessary. The base charge for the initial month or final month of service will be prorated for the portion of the month for which service was provided. The initial bill will not be calculated for a period of less than 15 days. In the event the period of service is less than 15 days, the initial bill will be rendered after the end of the following month and will include that month plus the initial period. On any service for which, for any reason, a monthly reading was not taken, a period of 45 days to 74 days may be considered two months, a period of 75 days to 104 days may be considered three months, etc. Where it is impossible to read a meter because of meter failure or mechanical defect or when inclement weather prevents meter reading, the quantity may be estimated in accordance with the policy established by the Utilities Director. The Water Division does not assume the responsibility for speedy and safe delivery of, or failure to receive, the bill; a duplicate may be obtained in person at the utility office, or by telephone. (Ord. 20089 § 25, 10-17-17.)
