(A) The person who owns the premises served by the public sewer system shall be responsible for payment of the sewer user charge for that property, notwithstanding the fact that the property may be occupied by a tenant or other occupant who may be required by the owner to pay the charges.
(B) Sewer user charges shall be due and payable to the city not later than 15 days after the date of billing.
(C) Sewer user charges levied in accordance with this subchapter shall be a debt due the city and a lien upon the property in accordance with O.R.S. 454.225. If this debt is not paid within 60 days after it shall become due and payable, it shall be deemed delinquent and may be recovered by civil action in the name of the city against the property owner, the person, or both. At the Sewer Board’s discretion, water may be shut off when the bill is 60 days delinquent.
(D) Change of ownership or occupancy of premises found delinquent shall not be cause for reducing or eliminating these charges.
