A. Issuance Of Bills: Accounts shall be charged a monthly rate in accordance with the rate schedule found in section 8-1-11 of this chapter (or as such may hereinafter be amended and revised by the city council) and said bill may be included separately or in conjunction with the monthly or bimonthly sewer bill or garbage bill.
B. Liability For Payment: The city clerk shall furnish to each property owner, landlord, or other such authorized agent, a monthly or bimonthly statement of the amount due for water for that month. The failure of any water user to receive said statement will in no way affect the obligation of the user to remit monthly or bimonthly as such may be required. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as relieving a landowner of liability for nonpayment of billing. A landowner's agreement with his tenants or lessees will not bind the city without specific authorization from the city.
C. Proration Of Cost: The initial billing for premises occupied less than one month shall cover only that portion of the month during which the premises were actually occupied. (Ord. 432, 5-19-1994)
D. Due Date: Bills rendered for water service are payable upon receipt and become past due ten (10) days from the date on which rendered. When the past due date falls on a legal holiday or on a day when city offices are not open for business, the next regular business day is considered the past due date. When remittances are made by mail, bills shall be deemed paid on the date the city has received the payment. (1980 Code § 4.6.25; amd. Ord. 543, 5-5-2009)
