(a) All charges for water/sewer are assessed against the property to which the service is rendered and are a lien against such property collectable as other liens and taxes.
(b) The lien list will be completed as deemed necessary. The lien list will be forwarded to the County through the City Auditor. Once submitted, the list must remain unchanged save for legal or court directives. After the lien list is submitted, all references and payments are to be made to the County.
(c) Failure to investigate such charges and services does not relieve the new owner of debt of such charges against said property and shall be cause for the Department of Utilities to refuse water/sewer service to said property until all charges against said property are paid in full.
