(1) Water quality management fees shall be billed and made payable monthly.
(2) The owner(s), tenant(s), or person(s) responsible for the payment of water service charges and/or sewer service charges shall also be responsible for the payment of water quality management fees for the same parcel(s) except for multiple occupancy such as shopping centers, apartments, condominiums, etc., in which cases the urban county government may either allocate the water quality management fees among the occupants of the parcel or may deem that a single billing to the parcel's owner(s), agent, or association is appropriate.

(b) In addition to the penalty provided in subsection (4)(a) of this section, any water quality management bill or a portion of any water quality management bill remaining unpaid for more than thirty (30) days from the date of billing shall be assessed an interest charge at the statutory rate, which shall be on file with the division of revenue against the unpaid balance of such bill.
(5) The department of law is authorized and directed to institute legal proceedings in the name of the urban county government in any court having jurisdiction over such matter for the collection of delinquent water quality management fees, and to take any actions necessary in such proceedings to protect the interests of the urban county government.
