The bills for sewer user charges shall become due and payable to the Village of Rhinebeck, and such payment shall be made to the Village Clerk, at the Clerk's office, quarterly. Users of greater than 50,000 gallons per quarter shall be billed monthly. If such bills are not paid within 15 days, a penalty of 10% of the amount of such bill will be added thereto.
