(a) Each sewer service permit applicant must give notice to the City upon any change in ownership of any improved property.
(b) The applicant must give written notice also of any change in tenancy and the applicant shall be liable for any sewer user charges that may accrue prior to the notice of vacation of premises.
(c) Discontinuance of Service. Any customer desiring discontinuance of sewer service due to the vacancy of his premises shall make application therefor directly to the City. Eligibility for exoneration from sewer user charges shall be in the manner previously ordained or hereafter established by the Governing Body.
(d) Refund Agreements. In cases where extensions to the sewer system are constructed by a builder or developer at his own expense, or by a group of applicants at their own volition and expense, as outlined in the Public Service Commission Rules and Regulations for the operation of sewer utilities, a refund of a portion of the sewer user charges paid by customers occupying dwellings served may be made to the builder, developer or other applicants under the terms of a refund agreement, entered into between the Department of Public Works and the builder, developer or other applicants as allowed by Public Service Commission Rules. Such agreement will provide for refunds not exceeding such amounts and for such periods as may be authorized by the Department of Public Works. Each refund agreement shall be an individual agreement between the interested parties, and shall not be construed as outlining a definite procedure as to percentage of refund or the duration thereof. Each and every separate refund agreement shall be negotiated independently of any other existing similar agreement. In no event shall the terms of any refund agreement exceed ten years in duration.
