on the water bill sent out monthly by the Paducah Water Works and said
charge so billed shall be payable monthly at the offices of the
Paducah Water Works in the same manner and within the same penalty -
free period as required for payment of charges for water service.
The water customer in whose name the water meter account is carried
shall be held responsible for payment of the full amount of the
Refuse Collection Service charges billed, which total amount shall
be based on the number of households and/or business places served
by said water meter; Due to the daily, cycular billing system used

may be billed at the beginning, during, or at the end of the monthly
period in which Refuse Collection Service is rendered, and the
first billing period corresponding with the first period of service
shall be the month of February, 1953, and thereafter in monthly

within ten days After date of rendering.
When any bill for water service and refuse collection service
charges remains unpaid and becomes delinquent and the water service
to the delinquent premises has been discontinued, such water service

both water service and refuse collection service is paid in full,
including any penalty for non-payment of water service."
