(A) Recording of liens. Unpaid delinquencies which result in disconnection shall constitute a lien upon the real estate for which such services were rendered, and the Village Clerk is hereby authorized and directed each month to file sworn statements showing such delinquencies in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the county in which the premises served are located, and the filing of such statements shall be deemed notice of lien for the payment of such charges for such services.
(B) Foreclosure of lien. Any property which is subject to a lien for unpaid charges shall be sold for nonpayment of the same, and the proceeds of such sale shall be applied to pay the charges, after deducting costs, as in the case in the foreclosure of statutory liens. The Village President may authorize and direct the Village Attorney to institute such proceedings in the name of the village, in any court having jurisdiction over such matters, against any property for which such charges have remained unpaid for a period of 60 days after the bill therefor was rendered.
