Any person owing money to the city under the provisions of this city code shall be liable to an action brought in the name of the city for the recovery of such amount, including penalties and interest, along with any collection costs incurred by the city as a result of the person’s noncompliance, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees. In the event that the debt is the result of overbilling or failure of the city to bill the service user for utility service fees, the city is limited to one year of refund or collection for utility service fees.
