Owners and/or occupants of premises who are not customers of the Department shall be billed individually.
   (b)   Although the occupant or person in possession of the premises may make arrangements with the City for payment of rates for the required service, the owner of record, as title holder, as reflected in the records of the City Assessor, shall be ultimately responsible for all said collection charges for service to the owner's premises.
