The City shall also have the right, in the event of nonpayment, to discontinue service to such premises of water supplied by the City water system and of sewerage disposal or transportation until such unpaid sewer charges have been fully paid.
(b) When both sewer and water charges remain unpaid for services furnished to the premises, the Director of Public Service may certify such charges simultaneously to the County Auditor for placement on the tax duplicate.
