(A) Initiation. Initiation of billing for services to a residential establishment shall coincide with initiation of billing for city water service. The charges for residential services for an account that does not have city water charges shall begin when the customer becomes responsible, by virtue of being the owner, renter, or authorized occupant, for the generation of solid waste. The charges for residential services to a newly-constructed establishment shall begin when the containers are delivered. The director, as a condition precedent to providing collection services to any customer, shall collect any amounts the customer owes the city for charges required by this chapter or chapter 27. The account activation fee shall be charged when billing is initiated.
(B) Deposit for accounts without city water service. A customer who does not have a city water account shall pay the residential account deposit when the account for residential services is established, unless waived by the director. When the account is terminated, the deposit may be refunded in accordance with section 15-31.1.
(C) Termination. Termination of billing for the fees herein shall coincide with termination of billing for city water service when both are provided. The charges for residential services for an account that does not have a city water account shall end when the services are stopped due to the customer notifying the department or due to delinquency.
(D) Container delivery fees. The APC delivery fee shall be charged when the number of containers at an establishment is increased, and when a customer requests a change in container size (first two (2) per customer at establishment are exempted). The APC removal/delivery fee shall be charged when the department delivers containers at the initiation of an account that does not have city water charges, and when the department picks up containers from a customer who has requested a temporary suspension of residential services.
(E) Penalty fees. No penalty fees pursuant to section 15-31.6 shall be charged on residential fees.
