The remedy by enforcement of the lien for unpaid water bills and charges as provided in Sections 11-12-490 and 11-12-500 of this Code shall not be exclusive of any other legal remedy to collect the amount due and unpaid for water consumed or furnished to, or water service installed or disconnected for, the person liable therefor. The water supply of the premises against which assessed rates or rents remain unpaid may also be cut off as provided in Section 11-12-480 of this Code; provided, that if more than four months shall have elapsed since the assessed rates or rents have become due and payable, the water supply of such premises shall not be cut off unless suit shall have been commenced or a claim for lien shall have been filed as provided in Sections 11-12-490 and 11-12-500 of this Code, or unless the person liable for the unpaid water bills is the owner, occupant or person in possession or in control of such premises when the supply of water is cut off.
