In addition to all other remedies, if a utility customer of the city shall, for any reason, remain indebted to the city for utilities service furnished, such amount due, together with any rents, charges, and fees in arrears, shall be considered a delinquent utility charge which is hereby declared to be a lien upon the real estate for which the same was furnished. The City Clerk shall notify in writing, or cause to be notified in writing, all owners of the real estate or their agents whenever their tenants or lessees are 60 days or more delinquent in the payment of the utilities charge. It shall be the duty of the City Clerk to report to the Mayor and City Council a list of all unpaid accounts due for utilities service together with a description of the address or real estate served. The report shall be examined, and if approved by the Mayor and City Council, shall be certified by the City Clerk to the County Clerk to be collected as a special tax in the manner provided by law.
