Stormwater utility charges shall be computed and billed periodically with, and included as a charge on, bills issued by the city for water and sewer services. If a parcel of land subject to the stormwater utility is not served by other utilities, a separate bill shall be issued on a bi-monthly basis.
(A) Penalties and remedies for delinquencies. All stormwater utility charges shall be due on the date specified by the city for the respective amount and shall be delinquent 30 days thereafter. Delinquent accounts will be charged a late fee as provided in § 51.25. The late charge will be added to the bill effective the first day of each month of the delinquency. The city shall attempt to collect delinquent accounts promptly.
(B) Assessment roll. The Clerk shall prepare an assessment roll each year providing for assessment of any delinquent accounts against the respective properties served. The assessment roll shall be delivered to the Council for adoption on or before the regular City Council meeting in November of each year for certification to the County Auditor for collection along with taxes. The city shall also have the right to bring a civil action or to take other legal remedies to collect unpaid delinquent accounts.
