(A) Billing period. Sewer charges for sewerage service shall be prepared and billed by the city and shall be due and payable as determined by the Board of Public Works and Safety.
(B) Liability for payment. The sewer charges for sewerage service shall be billed to the person being billed for water service unless, by contract with the utility, another person assumes such 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 as certain whether such charges have been paid.
(C) First billings. The sewer charges and surcharges fixed in this subchapter shall be extended to and cover any additional premises hereafter served without the need for any hearing or notice. If the first billing to a new customer covers a period other than a full billing period, then the sewer charges for such billing shall be made in keeping with standard practice. Subsequent sewerage service billings shall be for periods coinciding with the billing periods established by the Board of Public Works and Safety. 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 period.
