(a) Upon the change of his or her mailing address, an owner of property served by the sewage disposal system shall inform the Board or Administrator, in writing, of the change. Failure to inform the Board or Administrator of a change of address shall not excuse an owner from any payment penalties incurred because of the failure to report an address change.
(b) Prior to the sale of a property, the present owner shall contact the Board or Administrator to arrange for a pro-ration of the final bill. The final bill shall be sent to the mailing address specified by the present owner. Failure of a previous owner to comply with this part shall not excuse the new owner from responsibility for any and all delinquencies certified pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code Section 735.29, current charges or penalties remaining unpaid by the previous owner.
(c) Prior to the sale of a property, the purchaser shall contact the Board or Administrator to arrange for a pro-ration of the first bill and to inform the Board or Administrator of the mailing address of the new owner. Failure to comply with this part shall not excuse the new owner from responsibility for any and all delinquencies certified pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code Section 735.29, current charges or penalties remaining unpaid by the previous owner.
(d) When any building or property receiving sewer service is sold or otherwise changes ownership, the Board or Administrator may require testing to determine if discharges other than those allowed by this document are being directed into the wastewater system. Colored dye, smoke, or other testing methods approved by the Board or Administrator will be used. If nonpermitted discharges are found, the owner has 90 days to correct the noncompliant condition unless specific action by the Board or Administrator extends the period for correction.
