An accrued past due sewer service liability in excess of $10,000.00 may subject the owner of the subject property to an additional penalty, to be imposed in a separate hearing, in an amount not less than $50.00 and not more than $500.00 for the delinquency. Each day that a past due service liability exceeds $10,000.00 shall constitute a separate delinquency. In determining whether to impose this additional penalty, the hearing officer may consider all reasons for the failure to make timely payment. The amount of this additional penalty does not include the delinquent amount owed for sewer service and any applicable late payment penalties, nor does it affect any other remedies, including right to a lien on the subject property.
