§ 99.46 OWNER RESPONSIBILITY.
   Each owner of premises desiring the use of the public sewer system thereon must file with the city the name of the owner's agent, if the owner desires to act through an agent, or the owner's address, and must direct in the instrument the one to whom the bill is to be sent, and notices be given, and the same is binding until a further notice differing therefrom is made in writing and filed with the city. The contract made with the owner must provide that any delinquencies in the payment of the public sewer service provided on the premises are a lien and charge against the premises so served regardless of whether the same is a homestead or not. The lien, in case of a delinquency, must be reported to the County Auditor by the city at the same time and in the same manner as special assessments on real estate for street improvements, and must be collected in the same manner as taxes against real estate provided, however, that nothing in this section is intended to prevent the city from cutting off sewer service to premises for delinquent payments in accordance with other provisions of this code, city policies, or other applicable state or federal laws.
