(6) For extraterritorial customers, the applicable water utility fee and/or sanitary sewer utility fee, plus fifty percent (50%), as set forth in Chapter 1031.
(b) Stormwater User Fees for Lots, Parcels, or Uses not Receiving Other City Utilities. Lots, parcels or uses not utilizing any other existing City's utilities may be billed monthly or quarterly in arrears, at the discretion of the Finance Director. All such bills for Stormwater User Fees shall be rendered monthly or quarterly by the Accounts Receivable & Billing Division and shall be placed in the Stormwater Fund.
(c) Surcharges. Every utility account shall be billed for the monthly curb and gutter surcharge (Section 1020.05

(d) Monthly Readings. Meters shall be read monthly. For large multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial customers, the frequency of meter reading may be more frequent, as determined by the Public Service Director, because of actual or anticipated water consumption.
