(A) All rates and rents will be billed monthly and must be paid promptly when due at the office of the City Clerk.
(B) If the rents are not paid by the stated due date, a 10% late fee will be assessed on all unpaid charges and the city or its agent may, in such case, order the water shut off forthwith.
(C) No water shall be furnished to consumers unless supplied through a meter approved by the Utilities Commission, at the rates established and set forth by the City Council in Appendix A.
(D) The property owner is responsible for the water/sewer billing, however at the request of the owner and upon completion of the rental unit request for water/sewer services, billing will be sent to the renter of the premises. Direct billing to the renter does not relieve the owner of responsibility, in the event the renter fails to pay the bill, the property owner will be responsible for the unpaid amount.
(E) Any charges which are delinquent by 60 days or more may be certified by the City Clerk to the County Auditor for collection from the property owner. The amounts so certified shall be extended by the County Auditor on the tax rolls against the premises.
