(1) Utility Enterprise Fund. This Ordinance creates the Storm Water Utility Fund. All revenues received from storm drainage user fees shall be placed in the enterprise fund as a designated fund, to be left separate and apart from all other City funds. The collection, accounting, and expenditure of all Storm Water Utility funds shall be in accordance with the Utah Uniform Fiscal Procedures Act.

(2) Billing. The City shall bill, or cause to be billed, property owners for storm sewer drainage utility services. Fees and charges shall be considered delinquent if not paid as determined by the procedures established by the City and will be a debt to the City, which shall be subject to recovery in a civil action.

(3) Alternate Billing Agreements and Deposit Requirement. Owners may assign the payment of the storm water utility fee to non-owners by signing an “Alternate Billing Agreement” with the City. The non-owner will be required to place a deposit with the City for $50.00 or the equivalent of TWO months of ERU assessment, whichever is greater. Failure of the non-owner to pay the storm water utility fee shall not relieve the owner from the responsibility of paying the unpaid fees.

a. Exception. Established non-owners who have had an account with the City for one year or more and the billing account for that particular property has not been in arrears during that one year period will be exempt from the deposit. It shall be the responsibility of the owners or non-owners to notify the City that they qualify for this exception. However, a signed “Alternate Billing Agreement” shall still be required.

(4) Late Fee Imposed. Fees and charges levied in accordance herewith shall be a debt due to the City. Failure to pay within 25 days after the due date (printed on the bill) shall be subject to late fees declared in the Consolidated Fee Schedule and are deemed delinquent. Delinquent accounts are subject to recovery through civil action, including the payment of reasonable legal fees.
