(A) Whenever a bill for water/sewer service remains unpaid for 60 days for monthly service after it has been rendered, the City Clerk shall file with the County Recorder of Deeds, a statement of lien claim.
(B) This statement shall contain the legal description of the premises served, the amount of the unpaid bill, the time period of the unpaid bill, and a notice that the city claims a lien for this amount as well as for all charges subsequent to the period covered by the bill.
(1) If the user whose bill is unpaid is not the owner of the premises and the City Clerk has notice of this, notice shall be mailed to the owner of the premises if his or her address be known to the City Clerk, whenever such bill remains unpaid for the period of 60 days for a monthly bill after it has been rendered.
(2) The failure of the City Clerk to record such lien or to mail such notice of the failure of the owner to receive such notice shall not affect the right to foreclose the lien for unpaid bills as mentioned in the foregoing section.
