This notice shall consist of a sworn statement setting out:
(1) A description of real estate sufficient for the identification thereof;
(2) The amount of money due for the service; and
(3) The date when the amount became delinquent.
(B) The city shall have the power to foreclose this lien in the same manner and with the same effect as in the foreclosure of mortgages on real estate.
(C) The city’s Attorney is hereby authorized and directed to institute the proceedings in the name of the city in any court having jurisdiction over the matters against any property for which the bill has remained unpaid 60 days after it has been rendered.
