8-2-10: LIEN FOR CHARGES, PENALTIES AND FEES:
Any charges for sewer connection, sewerage services, water services and all penalties and fees charged in connection therewith by virtue of the provisions of this chapter, and all other and prior ordinances, which are unpaid and delinquent, shall become a lien upon the real property of the owner receiving the service, and the city council will make and file a lien for the amount due within the same time and in the same general manner and form as liens of mechanics and materialmen are made and filed under the provisions of the laws of the state of Idaho; and such liens shall bind the premises in the same manner and to the same extent as such materialmen's or mechanic's liens are binding under the said laws and shall be foreclosed in the same general manner, and upon foreclosure thereof, attorney fees and costs shall be allowed in like manner, or the city may, without filing such lien, sue to recover the amount due from the person liable therefor. In like manner, a lien may be filed and foreclosed or suit brought to enforce the payment for any labor or materials furnished or supplied by the city. (Ord. 529, 11-2-1965)
