§ 20-3-206. COLLECTION OF WATER SERVICE CHARGES FOR SUNNYBROOK.

The charges for water services furnished to residents of Sunnybrook residing within the remote area on Sunnyview Drive, Dalebrook Drive, Glenbrook Drive, and Club View Lane, in the tenth election district of the county, and shown and described on the Bureau of Engineering Drawings No. A-4B 64-239 through A-4C 64-251 shall be billed and collected by the Director of Budget and Finance. All bills shall be paid within thirty (30) days after they have been submitted, and on not less than twenty (20) days' written notice of default in such payment and of the consequences thereof, the Director of Budget and Finance shall have the right to direct that the supply be cut off by the Department of Public Works. All bills in arrears may be deemed a sufficient reason for the discontinuance of water service until all arrearage plus a penalty of ten (10) percent of the unpaid bill are paid. If the arrearage and penalties are unpaid, they may be added to the next bill rendered to the resident in question. The addition of such arrearage and penalties to any bill shall not affect the rights of the Director of Budget and Finance to direct that the water supply to such resident be cut off by the Department of Public Works. Whenever the water supply is shut off for nonpayment of water service charges and penalties, all arrearage, penalties, and a fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for turning on the water shall be paid to the Director of Budget and Finance before the water supply shall be turned on again. The County Executive shall assess and fix water rates in accordance with the power and authority vested in him by section 307(b) of the Charter. The rates shall be assessed and fixed at a level that is equal to 150% of the rates charged to all other users of public water in Baltimore County.
