(a) If charges for service are not paid within sixty days after the rendition of the bill for such service, such charges shall be deemed delinquent, and thereafter such delinquencies shall constitute liens upon the real estate for which service is supplied. The Village Collector shall file, in the office of the County Recorder of Deeds, sworn statements showing such delinquencies, and the filing of such statements shall be deemed notice for the payment of such charges for such service.
(Ord. 416. Passed 11-24-64; Ord. 446. Passed 2-10-75; 1976 Code §19-20.)
(b) Property subject to a lien for unpaid water and sewerage charges shall be sold for nonpayment of the same, and the proceeds of such a sale shall be applied to pay such water and sewerage charges after deducting costs, as is the case in the foreclosure of statutory liens.
(c) The Village Attorney is hereby authorized to institute the lien proceedings set forth in this section in the name of the Village, in any court having jurisdiction over such matters, against any property for which the water bill has remained unpaid sixty days after such bill was rendered.
