(A) Owners of property connected to and from which wastewaters are discharged to the sewage system, and to which is furnished metered water service by the water supplier, with exceptions set forth in divisions (B) and (C) below shall pay quarterly sewer rental based upon volumes of water consumed at the rate of $4.60 per 1,000 gallons of water used, plus a service administration fee of $15 per EDU. The minimum quarterly volume assessment will be 6,000 gallons (minimum charge of $42.60 for a single- family dwelling). The volume of water to be used for billing sewer rentals under this division (A) shall include aggregate quarterly volumes of water purchased from the water supplier.
(B) In case of owners of property from which wastewaters are discharged to the sewer system that originate in more than one residential and/or nonresidential establishment located on the property, sewer rentals shall be computed for each individual establishment as set forth in division (A) above. Individual sewer rentals thus computed for each establishment shall be totaled for purposes of determining the aggregate sewer rental billing to the property owner.
(C) Sewer rental charges set forth herein shall be effective with respect to sewer service rendered on September 1, 1993 and hereafter. All sewer rental billings shall be rendered in arrears of the service provided for calendar quarter service periods on January 1, April 1, July and October 1, of each year a property is connected to the sewage system. Bills shall be rendered quarterly for the quarterly periods ending on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year. Sewer rental billings shall be based upon water consumed and metered during the quarterly water service period immediately preceding the quarter in which the sewer billing is rendered. Owners of property connected to the sewer system for only a portion of the calendar quarter shall pay a pro-rata sewer rental for the period of time actually connected during the quarter. All sewer rental billings shall be due and payable upon presentation and if not paid within 30 days from the date of billing, a penalty of 5% shall be added. Any billing not paid within 90 days from the date of billing shall be considered delinquent and assessed an additional 15% of the current rate as a delinquent penalty. Said penalty shall be charged against the account and considered the responsibility of the property owner.
(D) Owners of properties not served by the public water system must purchase a water meter from the authority, which meter shall be installed according to the authority specifications. The property owner shall be responsible for maintenance of the meter.
