(a) Delinquent payments for sewer rentals shall be certified and assessed as a lien upon the property served. Each sewer rental charge which has become due and has remained unpaid for thirty days may be certified by the Clerk of Council to the County Auditor prior to September of each year, together with a description of the premises served. The amount certified shall include a twenty percent collection fee to be added to the actual sewer rental charge. The County Auditor is hereby directed to place on the tax duplicate those charges for sewer rentals and the twenty percent collection fee as may be certified by the Clerk of Council. Any such list shall be modified to reflect payment of delinquent charges prior to certification.
(b) Any past due utility payment that is thirty dollars ($30.00) or more shall result in water services disconnect. A disconnection notice will be issued at least 30 days prior to disconnect.
