(A) All sewer charges for services rendered in the city to consumers on or after Dec. 4, 1990 shall constitute a lien on said parcel of real estate to which said service is rendered. If the person or other entity receiving such services is not the owner of such property, the owner of such property shall be obligated to pay any such charges not paid by the occupant of such property unless the owner, prior to the time such service is rendered, shall file with the City Clerk/Treasurer a written notice that the owner will not be liable for such charges. Upon receipt of such notice the City Clerk/Treasurer shall notify in writing the occupancy of such property that unless a security deposit, equal to one half (1/2) times the estimated monthly sewer charge for said property is deposited with the City Clerk/Treasurer within ten (10) days, said non-compliance shall be regarded as a default in the contract with the city for said services, and after proper notice, and proper hearings, service may be terminated.
(B) If such deposit is not made within ten (10) days after the mailing of such notice to the address of service, the City Clerk/Treasurer shall cause the appropriate employees of the city to serve notice to the consumer of the non-compliance and notify the consumer of a proposed termination of the services and a proposed hearing date in which the non-compliance will be discussed and a decision will be made concerning termination of services. Should a termination be decided upon after compliance of full due process rights of the consumer, the sewer services to the consumer will be terminated and no such service shall be restored until the deposit is made or the owners notice mentioned above is withdrawn.
