The following provisions shall be applicable to and determine the method of collection of such solid waste rates by the city:
(A) The charge for solid waste service shall be added to the charges for water service and/or sewer service and payment of the total amount must be made in accordance with city rules regulating the payment of water service charges.
(B) Delinquent payment of charges for solid waste service shall be treated in the same manner as delinquency for payment of water service charges and/or sewer service charges.
(C) All charges for solid waste collection shall be billed to the following persons:
(1) In the case of any person whose premises are connected with the municipal water system, then to the person who requested such connection to the municipal water system or his or her successor in interest, to any person requesting that such bill be charged to him or her.
(2) In the case of any person whose premises are not connected to the municipal water system, then to the person who requested the connection to the sewage system or his or her successor in interest, or if no such request was made, then to the owner of record of such premises on the date on which such premises are required hereby to commence garbage and trash collection services, or to the successors in interest to such person, or to any person requesting that such bill be charged to him or her.
(D) Each charge for solid waste collection service levied pursuant to this section on any premises within the city is hereby made a lien upon such premises, and any steps authorized by law may be taken by the city to enforce payment of such lien.
(E) In each case where a bill for solid waste collection service shall become delinquent, the City Manager shall cause the premises to be disconnected from the municipal water and/or sewage system pursuant to the procedures set forth in § 52.66. Whenever premises have been disconnected from either or both the municipal water system and the municipal sewage system for nonpayment of garbage and trash collection charges, such premises shall not be reconnected to either the municipal water system or the municipal sewage system until all delinquent fees, charges and rates have been paid, together with such reasonable charges for reconnection as may be established from time to time by resolution adopted by the City Council.
