(a) In the case of premises containing more than one unit, which units are billed separately for water charges by the City Water Billing Department, fees for said collection shall be billed to the person who is the customer of the Department. In the case of premises containing more than one unit, which premises are served by a single water bill, so that occupants or tenants cannot be billed separately by the Department, fees for said collection shall be billed to the customer of the single utility bill who shall be liable for the service fee for such premises. 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.
