A billing for use of the POTW shall be made directly by the Village of Dimondale. Pursuant to M.C.L.A. 123.162, all such charges shall constitute a lien on the premises served and, if not paid within six months after the same are due, the official in charge of collection shall, prior to the first day of May for Village residents and the first day of October for Township residents, certify to the appropriate Treasurer the fact of such delinquency. Upon receipt of such certification, the Treasurer shall enter the delinquent charge as a lien upon the property on the general property tax roll, which lien shall be enforced in the same manner as provided by law for collection of delinquent property taxes. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Village or the Township from establishing additional rates as may be necessary to finance said system and/or services rendered in connection therewith. All such rates and charges shall be adopted and/or amended from time to time by resolution.
