Calculation of penalty for conservancy and service charges in arrears

2.—(1) Where any conservancy and service charges payable by any tenant or owner to the Town Council of Bishan Serangoon are in arrears —

(a)

in respect of the first month in which there is an arrear of conservancy and service charges, there shall be imposed a penalty calculated by adding $2 to the amount specified in the second column of the Schedule set out opposite to the amount in the first column which corresponds to the amount of conservancy and service charges in arrears; and

(b)

for every subsequent month in which there is an arrear of conservancy and service charges, there shall be imposed on the last day of that month a penalty equivalent to the amount specified in the second column of the Schedule set out opposite to the amount in the first column which corresponds to the total accumulated amount of conservancy and service charges (excluding any penalty) in arrears on that day.

(2) The amount of $2 referred to in paragraph (1)(a) shall be payable only once so long as the conservancy and service charges are or continue to be in arrears.

(3) In paragraph (1)(a), “first month” refers to the first month following a period of at least one month where the conservancy and service charges are not in arrears.
