Residential Solid Waste
The following rates are hereby established for such services:
The foregoing residential rates shall be billed by the city to each and every residential solid waste producer. Should any such unit be occupied for less than a full billing cycle, upon request and proof of same, the city shall prorate the occupant's sanitation bill for that billing cycle; however, in all such cases the occupant shall be billed a full month for any month that he or she occupied such unit for one day or more.
A property owner seeking to have any such unit exempted from sanitation billing due to non-occupancy shall submit a signed affidavit to the city finance director requesting such exemption on a form prescribed by the city; in all such cases payment shall be required for any month that the unit is occupied for one day or more.
Should the state public service commission approve any surcharges, which the city's independent contractor may add to the monthly bills of residential customers, the city recognizes the surcharge and shall apply such surcharge in addition to the above established monthly rates. Such rates shall automatically adjust immediately upon the approval by the state public service commission.
