(a) The Director of Public Service shall cause sewer rental charges to be collected from every person whose premises are served by a sanitary sewerage system which is within the jurisdiction of the Sewage Treatment Division, whether or not the premises have an individual connection.
(b) Charges for sewerage service shall be made each quarter of the calendar year. All bills are to be rendered as of the first day of the quarter for which charges are made and shall be due and payable on the date of rendition thereof.
(c) If the charges for sewerage service are not paid within 30 days after rendition of the bill for such service, there shall be added to such quarterly charge an amount equal to five percent per month on the unpaid balance of that quarterly charge to a maximum amount of 25 percent of the quarterly charge.
(d) The Director of Finance shall collect such unpaid charges in the same manner other municipal taxes are collected as provided by law, including, but not limited to, certification of charges for delinquent accounts to the County Auditor for placement on tax bills. As used in this section, "delinquent accounts" are those which remain due and unpaid for 30 days.
(e) Funds collected under this chapter shall be administered by the Director of Finance and placed in a special account or accounts for particular purposes.
(f) The Director of Public Service shall appoint the necessary personnel required to collect all sanitary sewer charges.
