§ 86-106. Metered, MG-1.

(a)

Quarterly service charge. The quarterly service charges shall be specified in the most current final decision and order of the public service commission.

(b)

Volume charge. A volume charge shall be specified in the most current final decision and order of the public service commission.

(c)

Billing. Bills for water service are rendered quarterly and become due and payable upon issuance following the period for which service is rendered. A late payment charge of three percent but not less than $0.50 will be added to bills not paid within 20 days of issuance. This one-time three percent late payment charge will be applied only to any unpaid balance for the current billing period's usage. This late payment charge is applicable to all customers. The utility customer may be given a written notice that the bill is overdue no sooner than 20 days after the bill is issued. Unless payment or satisfactory arrangement for payment is made within the next ten days, service may be disconnected pursuant to Wis. Adm. Code, ch. PSC 185.

(d)

Combined metering. Volumetric meter readings will be combined for billing if the utility for its own convenience places more than one meter on a single water service lateral. Multiple meters placed for the purpose of identifying water not discharged into the sanitary sewer are not considered for utility convenience and shall not be combined for billing. This requirement does not preclude the utility from combining readings where metering configurations support such an approach. Meter readings from individually metered separate service laterals shall not be combined for billing purposes.
