The water service to any premises may be disconnected upon failure to pay the sanitary sewer and surface water management charges for the premises. Water service shall not be resumed until all due sanitary sewer and water bills plus a connection charge are paid. The sanitary sewer and surface water management charges shall constitute an indebtedness of the owner of said premises as well as the occupant thereof who receives sanitary sewer service, and any claim for unpaid rates or charges which have been properly billed to the occupant of the premises as part of the utility bill for water services may be thereafter collected in a civil action brought against the occupant or the owner of said premises, or both.
