and
Payment:
In the event that the customer uses a substantial
amount of water for purposes which do not dispose
of the water into the sanitary sewer system, the
customer may apply to the City of West Memphis
to install a meter at customer's own expense to
meter such water. If the City of West Memphis
agrees that such water does not enter the sanitary
sewer system, then the sewer charge shall be imp osed
on a water bill computed on total water consumption
less the water passing through the meter for the
water that does not enter the sanitary sewer system.
Bills will be rendered monthly with water service
bill. The net bill shall be paid not more than
15 days from date of bill; otherwise, the 10~
discount is forfeited and the gross bill is payable."
Section 2. Emergency Clause. It being found and determined by
the City Council of the City of West Memphis, Arkansas that the month
of September reflects a summer month more than the month of May to
establish our sewer rates; therefore, this Ordinance being immediately
necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety and
welfare of the citizens of West Memphis, Arkansas, an emergency is
declared to exist and this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect
from the date of its passage and approval.
