(a) The fee provided in Section 921.23 shall be billed to the person or entity currently receiving the City's utility bill for water, sewer and recycling services . The owner of the parcel of property in question shall always be responsible for said bills.
(b) Such fee shall appear on the utility bill rendered by the City for water, sewer and recycling services as a separate item and shall be considered an integral part of such bill. Failure to remit the entire amount of the charges for all services shall constitute a delinquency, with termination of all services to take place in accordance with the provisions of the Codified Ordinances and the Service Director's Rules and Regulations. This shall include the right of city council to certify delinquent storm water use charges to the county auditor and have the delinquencies charged to the real estate tax bill as a lien on the real property that generated the delinquent charges. However, upon proof satisfactory to the Director of Budget and Finance that service for the collection of recyclable material is not required at any billing unit, due to vacancy or other reasons, such fee shall be waived by the Director.
(c) For those properties within the corporate limits of the City that do not utilize the City's water, sewer, or recycling services, the property owner, or their designee shall be billed separately for the storm water fee. (Ord. 2017-17. Passed 3-15-17.)
