When does interest accrue on unpaid bills?

Water and Sewer charges are due and payable 30 days from the date of issue.  Interest at the rate of 14% per annum begins to accrue from the due date to the date of payment.  A Water and Sewer bill is considered “paid” upon receipt by the Treasurer/Collector, not the post mark on the envelope.  Late fees of $5.00 for unpaid water and $5.00 for unpaid sewer fees are also added once the “Demand” notice is sent.
