(A) Billing.
(1) All sewer service charges shall become due and payable to the city as of the date of billing. All sewer service charges shall become delinquent 28 days from and after the date of billing. All bills delinquent 28 days or more shall be subject to a 1.5% per month finance charge.
(2) All bills for such charges shall be issued by the Director of Finance. They shall be combined with bills or statements for water services where the premises in question are connected to the water system. The bills shall state their purpose (water and sewer services) and shall list separately the charge for water service and the charge for sewer service and the total charge for both services. Neither charge may be paid separately from the other. If the real property with sewer service is not connected to the water system, a separate bill shall be rendered for sewer service only. All bills shall be for monthly or bimonthly periods. The Director of Finance shall have the power to require any user to pay bills monthly if, in his discretion, monthly payments are required for the protection of the city.

(1) In the case of any person whose premises are connected with the water system, to the person who requested such connection to the water system, or his successor in interest, or to any person requesting that such bill be charged to him; or,
(2) In the case of any person whose premises are not connected to the water system, then to the person who requested such connection to the sewage works, or his successor in interest, or, if no such request was made, then to the owner of such premises on the date on which such premises are required by the provisions of this chapter to connect to the sewage works, or to the successor in interest to such person, or to any person requesting that such bill be charged to him.
