All charges for the municipal water system shall be billed and collected monthly by the city clerk from the land owner. The land owner shall be solely responsible for any and all fees charged by the city for the use of the municipal water system. Said charges shall be paid within thirty (30) days from date of bill. Failure to pay said charges within thirty (30) days from date of bill shall, without further notice, result in discontinuance of all city municipal services, including water services to that particular residence, business or organization user. The city council shall also have the authority to request a designated representative to obtain payment for said water services in an informal way from time to time as the situation may require in lieu of discontinuance of all city municipal services (“Informal Collection Efforts”). On each occasion the city pursues informal collection efforts, the land owner shall be responsible for and shall pay a collection fee of ten dollars ($10.00). The city may recover said informal collection efforts fee by having such assessment certified to the county assessor or other property county officer having charge of making up of the assessment rolls and such assessment shall be placed on the assessment rolls and collected in the same manner as other municipal taxes are collected.
