Sewer rental bills shall be due and payable quarterly at the office of the Village Clerk or his or her designated collection agent on the same dates as water bills. Bills not paid within 30 days shall be deemed delinquent. Upon being deemed to be delinquent, as herein defined, the Village Clerk or his or her designated collection agent shall give a written notice to the customer of such delinquency and shall demand payment immediately. In the event that the bill is not paid within ten days after the sending of the said notice, the governing body shall order the Utilities Superintendent to cut off water service at any time; provided, if the delinquent customer is a known welfare recipient, it shall be the duty of the Village Clerk or his or her designated collection agent to notify the customer and the County Welfare Department by certified mail of the proposed termination. The Village Clerk or his or her designated collection agent shall bill the owner of the real estate receiving sewer service and such owner shall be liable for the sewer bill pursuant to the procedure set forth above. Any unpaid bills or fees for such service shall be a lien against the real estate receiving the sewer service and may be foreclosed or certified to the County Clerk to be collected as a special tax in the manner provided by law.
