Charges for electrical service shall constitute a lien on the property or premises served, and liens for delinquent charges may be recorded against the property with the office of the county’s Register of Deeds. Those charges delinquent for six months or more shall be certified to Council at the regular November meeting of Council, and the lien on the premises served shall be entered on the tax roll. Those amounts so certified as delinquent and approved by Council shall be spread upon the December tax roll for collection. In a case where a tenant is responsible for the payment of the charges and Council is so notified in writing, which notification shall include a true copy of the lease of the affected premises, such charges shall not become a lien against the premises after the date of notification. In the event of filing of the notification, the city shall render no further electrical service to the premises until a cash deposit in a sum fixed pursuant to this chapter is made.
