(A) The owner of each property shall be obligated to pay the storm water user fee as provided in this chapter; provided, however, that, if no water or sewer service is being provided at the property to the owner as a customer of record and such service is being provided to a customer of record other than the owner, it shall be presumed that the owner and such customer of record have agreed that the customer of record shall be obligated to pay such storm water user fee. If the customer of record other than the owner refuses to pay the storm water user fee, the owner of each developed property shall be obligated to pay the storm water user fee as defined in this chapter.
(B) Non-residential multi-tenant properties shall be billed according to the placement of utility meters (i.e., if the property contains individual unit meters), then billing for the storm water user fee shall be billed to individual units based on the unit’s pro rata percentage of impervious surface. If the multi-tenant property contains a master meter, then the storm water user fee for the entire impervious surface area shall be billed to the customer of record for such master meter.
(C) Each unit of a multi-tenant residential building shall be billed a minimum charge, the same being the single-family residential fee, to the customer of record for the unit. If an individual unit is not individually billed for any water or sewer service (i.e., water and sewer utilities are billed to a master meter), then the customer of record for the master meter shall be billed as other developed property based on the total impervious surface area.
