(A) Penalties. Sewer service charges levied by the city against the sewer users in accordance with this chapter shall be a debt due to the city and shall be a lien upon the property. If this debt is not paid within ten days after the fifteenth day of the month in which the bill is issued, it shall be deemed delinquent and may be placed on the next year’s tax roll and be collected as other taxes are collected. Change of ownership or occupancy of premises found delinquent shall not be cause for reducing or eliminating these penalties.
(B) Civil action. Any charges levied pursuant to this chapter and which have been properly sent to the occupant or owner and not paid, may be recovered in a civil action by the city in any court of competent jurisdiction.
