(A) The city shall mail a statement each month to each person charged with refuse collection, removal, or disposal during the preceding month, but failure to mail any statement for monthly charges shall not be grounds for avoiding payment. The statement shall be mailed with or contained on the regular monthly water bill and collected with that bill.
(B) If the fee, rate, or charge for any monthly service charge is not paid when due, the amount thereof shall then be delinquent. Garbage collection service may be discontinued and shall not be restored until the delinquent account is paid, together with the expenses, if any, incurred by the city.
(C) The city shall keep proper records showing all collections made and received. All accounts shall be properly audited annually by a competent independent certified public accountant, and the report thereof shall be open for inspection at all times to any taxpayer or citizen of the city, or any person receiving the service under the provisions of this chapter.
