(A) Establishment. The City Council shall by resolution establish a system of service charges for refuse collection. In the resolution it shall fix the maximum charges, including any special charges for extra hauling or collecting from an excessive number of containers and classify users of the service according to the type of occupancy and number of collections per week.
(B) Billing. The service charge shall be made to the owner or occupant of each building or housing unit served. If the building is served by city water or sewer, the refuse collection charge shall be billed as a separate entry on the water or sewer bill. If the premises are not so served, the refuse collection charge shall be separately billed by the City Administrator.
(C) Payment. Service charges shall be payable at the same time as bills for water service and subject to the same conditions of payment. If any charge is unpaid on September 1 of any year, the City Council shall levy an assessment equal to the unpaid charge as of that date plus interest at a rate to be set by the City Council by resolution from that date. The City Administrator shall certify the assessment to the County Auditor for collection in the same manner as assessments for local improvements.
