Whenever any charge, including penalties and interest, remains unpaid for a period of three months or more, such charge may be entered upon the next tax roll as a charge against the premises and shall be collected and the lien enforced in the same manner as general city taxes against such premises are collected. Nothing in this section, however, shall be deemed to prevent the city from suing in a court of law to collect the amount due. In addition to those other remedies referred to herein, the city shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to turn off and discontinue supplying water to any premises where charges remain unpaid.
