(A) The rates and charges shall be prepared and billed by the town and shall be collected in the manner provided by law and ordinance. Said rates and charges may be billed to the tenant or tenants occupying the property served unless requested in writing by the owners, but such billing shall in no wise relieve the owners from liability in the event payment is not made as herein required. The owners of property served which are occupied by tenant shall have the right to examine the collection records of the town for the purpose of determining whether such rates and charges have been paid by such tenants, provided that such examination shall be made at the office in which such records are kept and during the hours that such office is open for business.
(B) Billings for sewage rates and charges shall be made monthly and such rates and charges, except as hereinbefore provided, shall be based upon the quantity of water used on or in the property or premises as the same is measured by the water meter therein used and said metered water usage shall be determined from monthly meter readings of the town’s waterworks.
(C) Shut off and/or non-use of water service for any reason will not exempt the customer from the base sewer charges during the period of shutoff or non-use.
