(A) Existing single-family dwelling unit. All single-family dwelling rental units that have individual meters and curb stops shall be billed directly to the tenant/resident upon the owner’s request. However, the owner/landlord is responsible for the collection of the water and sewer deposit fee and is ultimately responsible for payment of the water and sewer bill. In the event that the owner/landlord does not pay a delinquent water and sewer bill, the city shall have the right to place a lien upon the property or pursue any other remedy available.
(B) Existing multi-family dwelling units. Owners/landlords will be responsible for the payment of the water and sewer base fee and water and sewer usage fee for each separate living unit, even though there may be only one meter supplying the multi-family dwelling unit. In the event that the owner/landlord does not pay a delinquent water and sewer bill, the city shall have the right to place a lien upon the property or pursue any other remedy available.
(C) Existing duplexes. All existing duplexes that have individual meters and curb stops for each unit shall be billed directly to the tenant(s) upon the owner’s/landlord’s request or to the resident owner. In any case, the owner/landlord is responsible for payment of the deposit fee for each rental unit and ultimately responsible for the payment of the basic water/sewer fee and water usage fee for each rental unit. In the event that the owner/landlord does not pay a delinquent water and sewer bill, the city shall have the right to place a lien upon the property or pursue any other remedy available.
(D) Existing townhome rental units. All existing townhome rental units that have their own water meters and curb stops shall be billed directly to the tenant(s) upon request of the owners/landlords. In any case, each owner/landlord is responsible for the payment of the deposit fee and ultimately responsible for the payment of the basic water/sewer fee and water usage fee. In the event that the owner/landlord does not pay a delinquent water and sewer bill, the city shall have the right to place a lien upon the property or pursue any other remedy available.
