(b) (1) Charges and rates as provided for in Section 933.25(a) shall be billed monthly, and payment shall be due as of the date of billing. All revenue generated through the user charge and billing charge shall be placed into an operation, maintenance, and replacement account. The revenue account shall be used exclusively to pay for the operation, maintenance, and replacement of the treatment works. User charges shall generate sufficient revenues to cover the cost of operation, maintenance, and replacement of the system.
(2) All revenue generated by the capital charges shall be placed into a capital account and used to pay for the capital costs of the wastewater treatment works. Use of the capital account revenue is not restricted to the Wastewater Fund.
(3) The revenue generated by the user and capital charges by users outside the City shall be treated in the same manner as the user and capital charge revenue is treated from inside-City users.
(c) Charges for industrial cost recovery shall be made on or before January 30, following the end of the year.
(d) Payments shall be made at the office of the Finance Director or those other places the Finance Director may designate.
(e) Bills not paid by the due date are considered delinquent. Delinquent notices will be sent to those persons whose accounts are unpaid notifying them of a final date for payment. If bills remain unpaid at the expiration of this date, the service covered thereby may be discontinued and shut off without further notice. The wastewater service will be turned back on when charges are paid.
(f) Any service charge levied by or pursuant to this chapter may be made on lien upon the corresponding lot, parcel of land, or premises served, and if the same is not paid within 30 days after it shall be due and payable, it may be certified to the Auditor of Erie County, Ohio, who shall place the same on the tax duplicate of the County with the interest and penalties allowed by law, and be collected as other taxes are collected.
