If any person using the sewer system shall neglect, fail or refuse to pay the rates and charges fixed by this chapter for connection with or use of the sewer system, such person and the premises occupied by him or her shall not be disconnected from the use of the sewer system, but the charges due from any such person shall be filed by the Town Clerk with the Board of County Commissioners within ten days after such date, together with a statement showing the names of the persons so delinquent and the description of the real property served by sewer connections for which charges fixed in this chapter are so delinquent. Such charges shall thereupon become a lien upon such real property and shall be collected in the manner provided by C.R.S. § 31-35-617; provided, however, that charges so imposed upon real property which is not subject to taxation or lien under the constitution or laws of this state by reason of its ownership, character or use, may be collected by any appropriate action in the County or District Court of the county.

Under and by virtue of the authority conferred upon the governing bodies of towns by C.R.S. § 31-35-701 to fix rates for the use of the sewerage systems of the municipalities in this state by owners of property in unincorporated territory without the boundaries thereof, such rates established by the Board of Trustees from time to time by an appropriate resolution adopted at any regular and special meeting at which a quorum is present, and after notice thereof, shall be deemed to be just, reasonable and necessary whether such connection has been heretofore made or shall be hereafter made.

(A) The rates and charges established herein shall become effective upon the publication of this chapter as hereafter set forth. The rates so specified shall be paid on a monthly basis and shall be due and payable on the first day of each month, and if not paid during the month in which they become due, shall become delinquent. The sewer charges as by this chapter provided may be entered upon bills for water charges against the same premises as additional separate items.
(B) The owner or occupants of premises that are outside the incorporated limits of the town and that are not connected with the town’s water system, but connected to the town’s sewer systems shall be billed by the Town Clerk each month, unless such charges are paid in advance for one or more months. If such sewer charges are not paid during the month in which they become due, the charge shall be considered delinquent. All delinquent charges shall be certified by the Town Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners or to the County Treasurer, which ever is applicable under then existing law, together with a statement showing the name or names of the person or persons so delinquent and the legal description of the property served by the sewer connection for which charges as fixed herein are delinquent. Such charges so imposed upon real property that is not subject to taxation or lien under the Constitution or laws of this state by reason of ownership, character, or use may be collected by any appropriate action in the County Court or the District Court of the county.

RATES FOR SEWER AND WATER
(A) The amount charged and the amount collected for water and sewer by the town shall be such amounts as fixed from time to time by a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Any changes in rates shall be made by means of an appropriate resolution duly made and adopted at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Trustees at which a quorum was present throughout; provided, however, that no changes in rates shall be made without first giving written notice to such property owner mailed to each property owner by first-class mail at his or her or its last known address no later than 30 days prior to the effective date of the rate change.
