In addition to all other remedies, if a customer shall for any reason remain indebted to the village for water service furnished, such amount due, together with any rents and charges in arrears, shall be considered a delinquent water rent which is hereby declared to be a lien upon the real estate for which the same was used. The Village Clerk shall notify in writing or cause to be notified in writing, all owners of premises or their agents whenever their tenants or lessees are 60 days or more delinquent in the payment of water rent. If not paid, the village may levy and assess such delinquent bill in the same manner as other special assessments are levied and assessed, and the village may collect said assessments in the same procedure as other special assessments are collected. The village may also recover said delinquent bill in a civil action in the courts of the appropriate county in the state.
