All charges for sanitary sewer service under this article shall be a lien upon the property served, and may be collected either from the owner or the person, firm, or corporation requesting the service.

The special assessment shall be certified by the City Clerk to the County Clerk. The County Clerk shall place the assessment on the tax rolls for collection by the County Treasurer, subject to the same penalties and to be collected in the same manner as other city taxes. The remedy prescribed by this section shall be in addition to any other remedies that the city may have for the collection of delinquent sanitary sewer service charges.
