(1) The rates for all owners shall be prepared and billed monthly.
(2) The rates may be billed to the occupant of each dwelling unit served, unless otherwise requested in writing by the owner, but the billing shall in no way relieve the owner from the liability in the event payment is not made as required.
The owners of properties served, which are occupied by a tenant or tenants, shall have the right to examine the collection records of the town for the purpose of determining whether the bills have been paid by the occupant, provided that the examination shall be made at the office at which the records are kept and during the hours that the office is open for business.
