6. BILLING AND PAYMENT
6.1 All Customers shall be billed on a regular basis as identified on the
applicable rate schedule.
6.2 If the system is metered, the Company shall try to read the meters
prior to each billing unless specified differently on the applicable rate
schedule. If the Company's meter reader is unable to gain access to
the premises to read the meter, or in the event the meter fails to
register, the Company will estimate the Customer's water consumption
for the current billing period based on known consumption for a prior
similar period or average of several periods. Subsequent readings will
automatically adjust for differences between estimated and actual.
Bills based on estimated consumption shall be clearly marked as
"estimated."
6.3 All bills shall clearly indicate the balance due and may be due and
payable no less than 15 days after the date rendered. All bills not paid
by the due date may be considered delinquent and service may be
disconnected subject to the provisions of the LICRR.
6.4 A Late Payment Charge may be levied against any delinquent account.
All payments received by the next billing date shall be applied to the
Customer's account prior to calculating the Late Payment Charge.
6.5 The minimum bill or customer charge shall apply when service is
provided for less than one month, unless otherwise stated in the
appropriate schedule.
6.6 owners of premises with one or more buildings, stores, apartments,
condominiums, or any other divisions of like or similar character, all of
which are served from one (1) service connection are responsible for
the entire water charges. If the owner desires to cease being
responsible for water bills for such places and desires that the
occupant of each division will be responsible for her or her respective
bill, such transfer of responsibility will not be accepted or recognized by
the Company until the plumbing arrangements of the building or
premises are so changed by the owner or his or her agent as to permit
the Company, to its satisfaction, to serve each division or occupant
separately from the other occupants in the same building.
6.7 Accounts shall be continued, and water bills ndered regularly until
the Company has been duly notified to disco tinue servic

Charge" shall be refunded and water bills shall be adjusted in
accordance with the UCRR. Meter Testing Charges shall require prior
