(A) An industrial user’s portion of any state grant shall not include any portion of the grant amount allocable to unused or reserved capacity.
(B) Bills for sewer services, in accordance with §§ 51.40 through 51.45 hereof, shall have a 10% penalty added to each bill that is unpaid after the tenth of the month following mailing. If any bill remains unpaid upon the twentieth of the month following mailing, the water supplied to the property affected will be shut off by the city and water service will not be restored until the requirements stated in § 53.07(B) have been fulfilled. In addition, a $10 service fee will be added to cover the cost of both shutting off and restoring services. Bills remaining unpaid 30 days after rendition of services shall constitute a lien upon the real estate to which the service has been rendered. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file a notice of such lien in the Office of the Recorder of Douglas County, Illinois, and to pursue such legal action as is necessary to collect the delinquent charges, including, but not necessarily limited to, authorizing the City Attorney to pursue collection action in court.
