Whenever the notice provided for in § 51.40(B) is not complied with, the Council shall be authorized and empowered to apply to the local District Court for a mandatory injunction or other appropriate court order requiring the delinquent person, firm or corporation to comply with the provisions of this subchapter, under supervision and direction of the City Council. The cost of repair of the water lines of pipes shall be paid initially from the general fund, and then assessed by the Council against the property involved. If the assessment is not paid to the City Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer within 30 days after the Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer has served written notice in the same manner as provided for the notice referred to in § 51.40(A), the Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer shall certify the amount of the assessment to the County Auditor for collection in the same manner as other special assessments. The Council, by resolution, may provide for payment of the assessment in two annual installments bearing interest at 7% per annum from the expiration of the 30-day period.
