(A) Billing period. Sewer charges for sewerage service shall be prepared and billed by the city along with the bills for water service and shall be payable at the same time as the water bills.
('67 Code, § 51.04)
(B) Liability for payment. The sewer charges for sewerage service shall be billed to the person being billed for water service unless, by the contract with the utility, another person assumes this responsibility. If a tenant is billed, the owner shall in no way be relieved of liability in the event payment is not made by the tenant as herein required. The owner shall have the right to examine the city's collection records to ascertain whether the charges have been paid.
('67 Code, § 51.05)
(C) First billings. The sewer charges and surcharges fixed in this chapter shall be extended to and cover any additional premises hereafter served without the need for nay hearing or notice. If the first billing to a new customer covers a period other than a full billing month, then the sewer charges for this billing shall be made in keeping with the standard practice in the water utility. Subsequent sewerage service billings shall be for periods coinciding with the billing periods for water service. If the sewer charges or surcharges are changed, the first billing after the change may also be for a period other than a full billing month in order to keep the sewerage billing periods coincident with the water billing periods.
