§ 51.31 PAYMENT RESPONSIBILITY.
   (A)   The customer of record, as indicated in the Water Department's records shall be responsible for payment of all charges incurred in connection with the services furnished, regardless of whether the customer of record or another party has actually used the service.
   (B)   The Water Department may elect to pursue collection of any outstanding charges from the owner of the property if the customer of record does not pay for any outstanding charges. In such a case, ownership of the property or premises shall be determined by reference to public records maintained by the Mohave County Recorder's Office. If there is no customer of record, and a monthly meter reading indicates usage of water at the property or premises, the owner of the property shall be responsible for paying the water charges due. Delinquent water charges shall constitute a lien against the property.
   (C)   Water and sewer charges shall be billed on a combined statement as outlined in Chapter 52 of this Code.
