(a) The owner of any property is responsible for all the sewage rental or sewage service charges for sewer services rendered to any tenant or occupant of that property. Any sewer rental or sewage service charge not paid on or before fifteen days after the date on which the bill for the same is rendered shall be a lien upon the property charged with the payment thereof. Such sewer rental or sewage service charge, if not paid after thirty days notice, may be collected as provided by law by an action in assumpsit, or by distress of personal property located on the premises, or by a lien filed in the nature of a Municipal lien.
(b) In addition to an action in assumpsit or lien, any unpaid sewer rental or sewage service charge listed on the Municipal utility bill shall be grounds for termination of any and all Municipal utility services, including electric service. In terminating service for nonpayment of the Municipal utility bill, the procedures set forth in Sections 1046.17 through 1046.23 shall be applied and strictly enforced.
(Ord. 2135. Passed 2-15-93.)
