The City Clerk shall be charged with the duty of mailing a statement on or before the fifth day of each month to each person charged with refuse collection, removal or disposal during the preceding month and which person has not paid in advance for such service for the respective year, but failure to mail any statement for monthly charges shall not be grounds for avoiding payment. If the fee, rate or charge for any monthly service charge is not paid within fifteen days after the same is due the amount thereof shall then be delinquent and may be recovered by the City in any appropriate action, and the fees, rates and charges for the service mentioned above in this section shall, if not paid when due, constitute a lien upon the premises served, and which lien may be foreclosed against the lot, parcel of land or building served in accordance with the laws of West Virginia relating to the foreclosure of liens on real property. On the first day of each month the City shall file in the office of the Clerk of the County Court of Jackson County, West Virginia, an itemized statement of all delinquent accounts, duly verified by a proper municipal officer of the City and the same shall be recorded in the judgment lien docket of said County in said County Clerk's office. Upon the failure of any person receiving such service to pay for the same when due, the City may discontinue such service without notice.
