(A) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this chapter, all charges shall be billed and collected quarterly or otherwise as determined by the Village Council. The Village Clerk-Treasurer may establish such billing procedures, consistent with this chapter, as may be necessary to effect efficient collection of bills. Receipt of a bill by any person liable for payment thereof, shall be notice to such person that subsequently such bill will be due quarterly thereafter, and the failure to receive a bill thereafter shall not excuse failure to pay the bill and any penalty thereon as though such bill had been received. Quarterly bills may be mailed separately or with or as a part of the village tax bills or water bills, but the amounts billed hereunder must be separately identified. All bills shall be payable on or before the due date without discount.
(B) Bills shall be mailed, quarterly, if possible, for services rendered for the period from July 1, 1990, through June 30, 1991 and each such bill shall be due on or before the date set forth therein. Such bills may be mailed separately or with or as a part of the village tax bills or water bills, but the amounts billed hereunder must be separately identified. If it is not possible to mail the bills for the July 1, 1990 through June 30, 1991 service year on a quarterly basis, such bills shall be mailed and scheduled for payment so that the bill for the last quarter of the July 1,1990 through June 30, 1991 service year is mailed and due before the end of such service year.
(C) Bills not paid on or before the due dates stated in division (B) above and this division (C) shall be deemed to be delinquent from such due dates. If a bill remains unpaid after its due date, there shall be added thereto as of such due date and collected thereon a penalty in the amount of 10%.
(D) All charges shall be a personal obligation of the owner of the premises and shall also be a lien upon the premises until paid. Until such charges and penalties are paid, the village may, at the option of the Village Council, proceed in a personal action against the owner or in foreclosure of the aforesaid lien, or both, to the extent necessary to collect such amounts and collection charges related thereto.
(E) Any amounts owed on premises which are past due for three months or more shall be certified to the tax assessing officer of the village to be entered upon the next tax roll against such premises. Such amounts shall be collected and such lien shall be enforced in the same manner as provided in respect to village taxes assessed on such roll.
