§ 56.11 BILLING AND COLLECTION.

   Billing and collection for the stormwater service charge shall be in accordance with the following.

   (A)   (1)   Stormwater service charges shall be included on bills calculated by the City Water Utility.

      (2)   All stormwater service charges shall be due and payable under the same terms and conditions provided for the payment of water service from the City Water Utility, except the provisions in §§ 56.12 and 56.13 shall be used to enforce collection of delinquent stormwater service charges.

   (B)   In situations where no water service is present and/or the city determines it would be more beneficial to the owner/occupant and/or city, the Engineering and Public Works Department shall bill the stormwater service charge.

      (1)   A stormwater service charge bill may be sent through the United States mail or by alternative means, notifying the customer of the amount of the bill, the date the payment is due, and the date when past due. Failure to receive a bill is not justification for nonpayment. Regardless of the party to whom the bill is initially directed, liability for payment of the stormwater management charge attributable to that property shall be joint and several as to the owner and occupant.

      (2)   All comprehensive stormwater service charges are due and payable 30 days after the date of billing.

      (3)   The provisions in §§ 56.12 and 56.13 shall be used to enforce collection of delinquent stormwater service charges.
