In case the nuisance consists of roots of trees which obstruct sewers, the Director of Service or Director of Public Safety may abate the nuisance immediately and without service of notice or estimate of the cost of the abatement. The Director shall, however, furnish the owner of the real estate from which the nuisance originates with a statement of the cost of abating the same as soon as the cost can be ascertained, and shall notify the owner to pay the cost within such reasonable time as the Director shall fix, but not less than thirty days. In case the cost is not paid within the time fixed by the Director, the Director shall report the fact to Council, which may assess the same on the real estate from which the nuisance originated.
