16-2-070: BILLING:
The city council finds that the city's storm drain system, culinary water system and solid waste collection system are all interrelated services that are part of a unified city plan to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the city and its residents in an environmentally responsible manner. Therefore, the drainage utility fee shall be included on the city's regular monthly utility bill for any given property. If there is no regular utility bill for the property, the drainage utility fee shall be charged to the owner of the property. The fee shall be deemed a civil debt owed to the city by the person or entity paying for the city utility service provided to the property. All developed parcels shall be charged the fee, regardless of whether or not the owner or occupant of the property requests the drainage utility service. Failure to pay any portion of the utility bill may result in termination of water service. (Ord. 2008-03, 1-8-2003)
