(A) Drainage service charges shall be billed and made payable using the same frequencies and billing cycles used by the Louisville Water Company for its billing system. The amounts to be billed shall be included as additions to the billings of the Louisville Water Company for water and/or sewer service, or by separate billings and billing cycles for accounts not maintained by the Louisville Water Company.
(B) The owners, tenants or persons responsible for the payment of water service charges and/or sewer service charges shall also be responsible for the payment of drainage service charges for the same parcels except for multiple occupancy properties such as shopping centers, apartments, condominiums, and the like, in which cases the MSD may either allocate the drainage service charges among the occupants of the parcel or may deem that a single billing to the parcel's owners, agent or association is appropriate. In either case, the billed party shall be responsible for payment of drainage service charges. For properties not billed by the Louisville Water Company for water service charges and/or sewer service charges, the owners of such properties shall be billed drainage service charges and shall be responsible for payment of same. In all situations, the owners of properties subject to drainage service charges shall be fully responsible for payment of the charges regardless of any other parties identified as also being responsible for payment of drainage service charges.
(C) When any drainage service charges remain unpaid for a period of 30 days after the amount becomes due and payable, the property, tenant and the owner thereof shall be deemed delinquent until such time as the charges are fully paid. The MSD may terminate or cause to be terminated public sewer, water and/or drainage services against the tenant or owner to obtain payment, all in accordance with KRS 76.090(4). A penalty shall be applied to delinquent drainage charges in the manner and at the rate established by MSD. Current rates are contained in MSD’s Schedule of Rates, Rentals and Charges on file with MSD.
