§ 58-64. Charges as lien; collection by suit; discontinuing water service for failure to pay.

The charges for wastewater service are hereby recognized to constitute a lien on the premises receiving such service. Whenever any such charge against any property shall be delinquent for 30 days the city officials in charge of the collection thereof may certify to the tax assessing officer of the city the fact of such delinquency, whereupon such charge shall be entered upon the next tax roll as a charge against such premises and shall be collected and the lien thereof enforced in the same manner as general city taxes against such premises are collected and the lien thereof enforced. Nothing in this section, however, shall be deemed to prevent the city from suing in a court of law to collect the amount due it for wastewater service charges. In addition to the other remedies provided in this section, the city shall have the right to shut off and discontinue the supply of water to any premises for the nonpayment of the wastewater service charges when due.
