§ 74-171. Opening bills.


Latest version.
  • Billing for residential refuse collection services shall commence on the date the dwelling units are suitable for occupancy. This shall normally be considered to be 90 days after the dwelling units are connected to the public sewer system; however, the department is empowered to vary the date that the dwelling units are considered suitable for occupancy, based on a reasonable interpretation of information obtained from public records or field inspection. The department may also initiate billing based upon a request for other utility services to the premises or notification from owners or occupants that the structure is completed. In all cases, opening bills shall be to the owner of record of the property as of the date the property is considered suitable for occupancy unless otherwise requested by the owner in writing.
