(A) The rates and charges for sewer maintenance shall be billed to the owners or occupants of the premises, and if the occupant of any of the premises is not the owner both the occupant and the owner shall be responsible for the payment of the sewer bills.
(B) The revised schedule of sewer service rates and charges shall be put into effect and collection on all sewer bills rendered after the effective date of this chapter. The rates and charges shall be billed quarterly and all bills for such services shall be payable within ten days after rendition. If not paid within ten days the charges shall be deemed delinquent. The city shall render the bills for sewer services and same shall be collected and accounted for in the manner as prescribed by law and proceedings pursuant to which the sewer revenue refunding and improvements bonds of the city are to be issued.
(C) If a bill is not paid within ten days after rendition, the city shall, as authorized by KRS 96.930 through 96.943, issue to the party supplying water services to the premises a direction to discontinue water service, whether the water service bill shall have been paid or not.
(D) In the event the city shall issue such direction to the water supplier, a penalty of 10% of the amount of the sewer service bill shall accrue and be immediately due and payable; and in addition thereto the delinquent sewer user shall become liable to the city for the amount of a reasonable fee of the water supplier for sending an employee to effect the discontinuance of water service, as provided in KRS 96.936.
(E) When the delinquent sewer user shall have paid to the city in full the amount of the delinquent bill, together with the prescribed penalty and the amount of the reasonable charge of the water supplier, the city will notify the water supplier that the sewer bill delinquency no longer exists; and the sewer user may then, as far as the city is concerned, seek restoration of the discontinued water service upon such terms and conditions as the water supplier may lawfully prescribe.
(F) The attorney for the city is hereby authorized and directed to enforce and collect any charges remaining delinquent for 30 days.
