If there is any change in ownership or occupancy of any premises connected to the
system, the public works department shall be immediately notified in writing of such
change, giving in such notice the name and address of the new owner or occupant. The
use of utility services shall be deemed and construed to be an acceptance by a new
owner or occupant of the obligations of the preceding owner, including the obligation
to pay all stormwater utility fees, to the city. If any owner fails to notify the
public works department in writing of a change in ownership or occupancy of any premises
for stormwater utility service, such owner shall continue to be liable to the city
for all fees accrued and accruing for such service until a new account is established
for the new owner or occupant. However, the foregoing provision shall not preclude
the public works department from also demanding from the new owner or occupant the
payment of all or any fees that shall, at the time of such demand, be unpaid or unsecured,
without regard to whether the same accrued prior or subsequent to such change in ownership
or occupancy. In no case of change of ownership shall the preceding owner be released
from any contract obligations to the public works department accruing prior to the
establishment of a new account for the new owner or occupant, except at the option
of the public works department, evidenced by a written release from the city. Any
notice of change in ownership or occupancy of any premises connected to the city's
water system pursuant to section 110-36 shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy the notice of requirement of this section,
and the change shall be applicable to the stormwater utility account for the premises.
