(A) Billing rule. Bills for sewerage system charges are rendered quarterly as of the end of March, June, September, and December of each year and become due and payable on the fifteenth day of the month following the period (quarter) for which service is rendered.
(B) Penalty rule.
(1) A penalty fee as provided in § 36.04 shall be assessed against delinquent balances due on sewerage system charges and past penalties assessable thereon which are accrued and unpaid, each such penalty to be compounded, assessed, and billed each quarter. On November 1 of each year, the Village Administrator/Clerk shall certify and file as a part of the Clerk’s records a list of all lots or parcels of real estate, noting the legal description thereof, of the owners or occupants thereof whose sewerage system charges are delinquent as of the end of the business day October 31 and in arrears, and stating the amount of such delinquencies and arrears, together with penalties, including any such compounded penalties thereon, as herein provided.
(2) Each such delinquent amount, including any penalty, shall become a lien on the lot or parcel of real estate to which benefits of the sewerage system were furnished and payment for which is delinquent, and the Village Treasurer shall insert the same as a tax against such lot or parcel of real estate. All proceedings in relation to collection of general property taxes and to the return and sale of property for delinquent taxes shall apply to said tax if the same is not paid within the time required by law for payment of taxes upon real estate.
