The charges and surcharges fixed in this subchapter shall be extended to and cover any additional premises hereafter served without the need for any hearing or notice.

If the charges and/or surcharges are changed, the first billing after the change may also be for a period other than a full billing month in order to keep the solid waste disposal billing period coincident with the water billing periods.
