(A) Bills for stormwater utility service fees shall be sent at regular, periodic intervals. Stormwater utility service fees may be billed on a combined utility bill that also contains fees for other utilities. Stormwater utility service fees that are shown on a combined utility bill may be for a different service period than that used for other utilities. For properties not having otherwise active utility accounts, the fee for only stormwater utility service accounts shall be billed to the owners or other persons listed on the real property tax records. These accounts may be billed at different intervals than the accounts receiving combined utility billings.
(B) As the general rule, stormwater utility bills for a property that receives other city-provided utilities shall be sent to the customer receiving such service. Billing for parcels or groups of adjacent and associated parcels with multiple utility accounts may be done as a separate bill to each account with the impervious area allocated among the accounts. Where this allocation results in an amount of impervious area allocable to a given account that is similar to that for a single family residential property, the account will be billed the same way as a single family residential property.
(C) Townhouse and condominium developments and other similar properties billed through individual utility accounts and not the property owner, but containing impervious surface greater than one ERU in common ownership areas, shall be charged a stormwater utility service fee for the total impervious surface of all commonly-owned property within the development. The stormwater utility bill for the commonly-owned areas shall be sent to the homeowners’ association.
(D) Stormwater utility service fees shall be due and payable as set forth in the city schedule of rates and fees, a copy of which is located in the office of the City Clerk, and is incorporated by reference herein.
