(A) Bills for stormwater service fees shall be sent at regular, periodic intervals. Stormwater service fees may be billed on a combined utility bill that also contains charges for water, sewer and/or solid waste. Stormwater service fees that are shown on a combined utility bill may be for a different service period than that used for water, sewer and/or solid waste service. For properties not having otherwise active utility accounts, the fee for only stormwater utility service accounts may 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) Stormwater fees are due and payable simultaneously with any other fees included on the bill, including fees for solid waste, sewer and water. Payments on such bills are applied first to stormwater fees, second to solid waste fees, third to sewer fees and last to water fees.
