935.03 BILLING; LIABILITY OF LANDLORD.

   (a)    Except as herein otherwise provided the rates and charges fixed by this chapter shall become effective with the water meter readings on and after April 1, 1984. These rates and charges shall be extended to and cover any additional premises thereafter served, without the necessity of any hearing or notice.

   (b)    Such rates and charges shall be prepared and billed by the City and shall be collected in the manner provided by law and ordinance. The first billing may be for a period of more or less than one full month in order to make the monthly collection period correspond with the water meter readings of the City, depending upon the date on which the rates established by this chapter become effective.

   (c)    The rates and charges for sewer service shall be billed to the tenant or tenants occupying the property served, unless otherwise requested in writing by the owners, but such billing shall in no way relieve the owner from liability in the event payment is not made as herein required. The owners of the property served, which are occupied by tenants shall have the right to examine the collection records of the City for the purpose of determining whether such rates and charges have been paid by such tenants. Such examinations shall be made at the office at which the records are kept and during the hours that the office is open for business.
