In any event, the owner of the property is ultimately responsible for the payment of all city services, including water and wastewater, which are furnished to his property, whether or not the owner actually occupies the property, leases the property, or has sold the property on contract. The failure of the tenant or contract purchaser to pay any overdue charges for water and wastewater services shall result in these services being withheld from his property until the charges have been paid in full.

A penalty shall accrue thereupon as of the sixteenth day of each month, and every month thereafter for such period of time as the wastewater bill is not paid. Failure to pay any overdue water and wastewater bill within 30 days of the date the bill is due shall result in all services to the property being terminated.
(C) A 10% penalty shall be charged on all overdue wastewater fees after the fifteenth day of each and every month. Said penalties are cumulative.
