 ARTICLE I. WATER AND SEWER UTILITIES

  § 27-7. Billing of accounts.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    Water accounts. The city is authorized to add the monthly charges for sewer service, backflow charges, special trash pick-up, and fire inspection fees, if applicable, to the monthly or bimonthly water bills which are rendered by the city to the users of water service at the same premises. More particularly, the city is authorized to add the charge for sanitary sewer services to any premises to the monthly or bimonthly water bill submitted to the user of water service at such premises, and this right shall exist even though the applicant for the initial sanitary sewer services or for the initial permit to connect to the sanitary sewer system may be different from the person who is billed monthly or bimonthly for water services extended to such premises. Such sewer charges will begin at the end of the ninety-day period as referred to in subsection 27-44(b) of this chapter whether connection has been made or not.

    (b)

    Separate bills. The provisions in subsection (a) above concerning the inclusion of sanitary sewer service charges in the monthly or bimonthly water bill submitted for water service to any premises shall be optional on the part of the city, and the city shall always have the right to render separate bills to separate persons if any conditions exist which warrant separate bills.

    (c)

    Discontinuing water service for any delinquency. City shall indicate all delinquent balances separately on subsequent service billings. If the amount charged by the city for services shall not be paid within forty (40) days from the mailing of any bill for such services, the city shall be authorized to discontinue supplying water to such premises and shall be authorized to disconnect the same from the water system of the city.

    (d)

    Flushing and sampling. A credit shall be given in an amount as established by resolution of the city commission upon recommendation of the Utilities Director or designee for flushing or sampling a consumer's service line (the part of the consumer's line located after the meter).
