hereby designated as the agency for the collection of such

be delinquent thirty days thereafter.
The said charge shall be included on the bill for electric

charge upon the occupant, wherever the bill for electricity
is paid or payable by the owner or other person, such owner
or other person shall also be charged and pay said fee for
rubbish and/or garbage collection service on behalf of the
occupant or occupants. If the owner or other person pays
such fee and he is not the occupant of some or any premises
for which it is so paid, such owner or other person shall
be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the occupant or
occupants on behalf of whom such fee was paid by him. In
cases where two or more residential units are served by the
City with electricity through a common or master meter, the
person responsible for the payment of the bill for electricity
shall also be responsible for the payment of said rubbish and/
or garbage collection service fees for each occupied unit
served by such meter and shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor from the occupant or occupants.
For all occupied residential units where electricity is
not furnished by the Light and Water Department of the City,
the said charge per month per each occupied residential unit
shall be payable bi-monthly by occupant in advance upon presen-
tation of a statement therefor by the Light and Water Depart-
