(A) The city shall make a charge for each month for the collection and disposal of refuse from each family domestic unit within the city. Such charges for collection and disposal of refuse shall be payable by and chargeable to either the owner or occupant of each dwelling and occupied by a family domestic unit. Such charge shall be added to the monthly water bill for each family domestic unit and shall be due and payable with and in addition to such water bill. All utility charges (including, but not limited to, refuse collection and disposal) shall be due by the first of the month following the service and delinquent by the tenth of the month following. In the event of nonpayment of the refuse collection and disposal charges, water service and refuse collection service to the dwelling unit may be forthwith discontinued by the city.
(B) In the event refuse collection and disposal service shall be provided by the city under the provisions of this chapter from any family domestic unit within the city, not independently served by the city water service and charged therefor, the owner and occupant of the dwelling unit occupied by such family domestic unit shall be charged for each month at the same rate that water users are charged. Such refuse collection and disposal service charge shall be forthwith payable to the city by either the owner or occupant of such dwelling unit. In the event of failure of payment of such charges, refuse collection and disposal service to such dwelling unit may be forthwith discontinued.
(C) In addition to the foregoing methods of charges and collections for refuse collection and disposal, the Finance Officer, under the direction of the City Council, may from time to time adopt, use, and enforce such other methods of billing and collection as may be reasonable, efficient, feasible, and appropriate to the end that, in every case, all collection and disposal charges provided by this section shall be paid.
(D) Rates for the charges for collection and disposal of garbage and refuse shall be set by resolution by the City Council.
