The sewer fee charged for all occupied premises shall begin 60 days after the sewer service becomes available or the day that connection is made to the public sewer, whichever occurs first. The sewer fee charged for all unoccupied premises shall begin when water service commences. Once the sewer charges commence, no credit shall be given for vacancy unless it is demonstrated that water service to that property from any and all sources was discontinued by city employees, at which time the sewer fee shall be discontinued until water service is restored. If the date upon which the charge is commenced or discontinued does not fall on the first day of a billing period, the fee charged shall be appropriately prorated.
