(a) All applications for combined municipal services shall be made on forms provided by City. Upon acceptance of any application by the City, such application shall constitute a contract between the applicant and the City obligating the applicant to pay for all combined municipal services.
(b) A new application shall be made, subject to approval by the City, upon any change in tenancy or property ownership where service is contracted for combined municipal services. The property owner shall not be responsible for any delinquent bill that is in a tenant's name. The City shall not record any lien against the property for delinquent tenant bills. When any user change is made on the account without giving the City notice, the new user shall be held responsible for payment for all water service from the most recent meter reading. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in situations where a rental property is vacant (i.e. no tenant occupying the rental property) or a situation where a rental property has had the water shut off by the City, the property owner shall be responsible for any Public Infrastructure Capital Improvement Fund fees assessed by the City.
