The stormwater user fee shall be billed and collected monthly as a utility service bill for those properties within the corporate limits of the city which are not currently on any other city utility service. The stormwater user fee for those properties utilizing any other city utility shall be a part of a consolidated statement for utility customers, which is generally paid by a single payment to the Utility Department. In the event that a partial payment is received, the payment shall be applied pro-rata to each account billed on the consolidated statement in the proportion that an individual account bears to the total consolidated statement of all current charges for all accounts. All bills for stormwater user fees shall become due and payable in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Office of City Clerk-Treasurer as the same apply to the collection of sewer and water utility fees. The same penalties, additional charges and deferred payment charges for non-payment shall apply to unpaid stormwater user fees. In addition, owners or users will be subject to reasonable attorney fees and costs of collection incurred by the city for the collection of delinquent balances.
