In addition to all other remedies, if a customer shall for any reason remain indebted to the village for utility service furnished, such amount due together with any rents and charges in arrears shall be considered a delinquent utility rent which is hereby declared to be a lien upon the real estate for which the same was used. The Village Clerk-Treasurer shall notify in writing or cause to be notified in writing all owners of premises or their agent whenever their tenants or lessees are 30 days or more delinquent in the payment of utility rent. It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk-Treasurer on July 1 of each year to report to the Village Board a list of all unpaid accounts due for utilities, together with a description of the premises upon which the same was used. The report shall be examined and, if approved by the Village Board, shall be certified by the Village Clerk-Treasurer to the County Clerk to be collected as a special tax in a manner provided by law.
