If a connection shall not have been made as required in § 18-2-1 of this subchapter, the City Clerk, upon direction of the City Council, shall serve upon the owner or owners of any such premises a written notice which shall describe the real estate required to be connected with such sewer, and shall notify such owner that he or she is required to make such connection or to make repairs to existing connection within ten days after the service or publication thereof, and that if he or she fails to comply with such notice, the City Council will cause such connection or repairs to be made and assess the costs thereof, together with the sewer tap fee or fees prescribed by this article against such premises. Such notice shall be served either by personal service or by publication, one time in a daily, weekly, or other legal newspaper not less than ten days preceding the date when the city undertakes to make such connection or repairs. If the notice be published, a copy thereof shall be mailed to the owner or owners at his, her, or their last known address within five days after the publication.
