A. Responsibility For Payment Of Charges: Irrespective of the occupant, user, tenant, cotenant, permissive user, or any other person, firm, partnership, corporation or entity being in possession of the premises to which a connection is supplied or service made available, the owner of the premises according to the records of the Emery or Grand County recorder (whichever is applicable) shall be legally responsible for the payment of all charges, fees, assessments and any obligation or liability of a user. Water service to delinquent property shall be turned off by the city for failure to pay any and all sewage and wastewater fees, assessments, charges or liability and will not be turned on again to those premises where a delinquency occurs unless and until all liabilities to the city for sewer service are paid in full.
B. Interest On Past Due Accounts: The city may, at their discretion and in circumstances that are equitable, impose interest at the highest legal rate on all past due accounts either for connection fees, user charges or any other legally imposed charges as authorized by this chapter.
C. Annual Review Of User Charges: The city shall review the total annual cost of operation and maintenance, long term debt service relating to the wastewater treatment works, as well as each user's wastewater contribution percentage not less often than every year. The user charge system will be revised as necessary to assure equity of the system established and to assure that sufficient funds are obtained from the city's user charge system to: 1) adequately operate and maintain the wastewater treatment works; 2) cover debt service sewer; and 3) to provide for adequate reserves. Users will be notified at least annually, in conjunction with a regular bill, of any changes to the user charge system.
D. Deposit: A deposit equal to two (2) months of sewer bill can be assessed before water and sewer service can be instated. (Ord., 8-15-2000)
