In case the nuisance consists of roots of trees which obstruct sewers, the Director may abate the nuisance immediately and without service of notice or estimate of the cost of the abatement. The Director shall, however, furnish the owner of the real estate from which the nuisance originates with a statement of the cost of abating the same regular U.S. mail at the owner's address as contained in the County Auditor's Records or other address as requested by the owner in writing or by personal service, as soon as the cost can be ascertained, and shall notify the owner to pay the cost or abate the nuisance within such reasonable time as the Director shall fix, but not less than thirty (30) days. In case the cost is not paid and the nuisance is not abated within the time fixed by the Director, the Director shall make the repair to abate the nuisance, and report the fact to Council which may assess the same on the real estate from which the nuisance originated.
