No. Sewer services are performed 24 hours per day 365 days per year for all connected premises to the system. All connected premises receive service and are subject to the charges. Sewer service charges are an annual amount for the cost of operation and maintenance billed in six bi-monthly installments. Sewer service charges terminate only after physical disconnection, i.e., plugging or capping off the lines, or prevention from occupancy by public health.
