§ 51.05 NONPAYMENT OF BILLS; LIEN.
   (A)   The village shall have a continuing lien upon the premises and real estate upon or for which sewer is used or supplied for all sewer rates or benefits accruing by reason of the provisions of this chapter. Every such lien shall, upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this chapter, become and be prior and superior to the rights and interest of creditors, encumbrances, purchasers and other parties in interest in the premises and real estate. Liens shall be filed following three consecutive months of nonpayment for sewer service charges to the village. A release of lien shall be provided to the customer upon payment of all charges and fees; such release may be recorded by the customer.
   (B)   Whenever it is necessary to record a lien, in addition to all other fees and charges, the utility customer and the owner of the property shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of a lien fee in the amount of $150.
