Charges for sewer service shall be a lien upon the premises served pursuant to the law thereto pertaining. When such charges have been delinquent for a period of 60 days the comptroller may cause a statement of lien to be recorded against the premises served and delinquent in the form and manner provided by law. The failure to record such a lien or to mail notice thereof shall not affect the right of the city to foreclose or adjudicate such lien, by an equitable action in accordance with the statutory requirements therefor and in the same manner as provided for water service in Section 11-12-490 et seq. The comptroller shall execute releases of such liens on behalf of the city upon receipt of payment thereof.
