The charges for connection to the sanitary sewer system shall be a lien upon the real estate for which sewerage service is supplied whenever any payment due shall not be paid within ten days of the date the payment is due. If any payment for charges for connection to the sewer system is not paid within 60 days of the date due, the city may discontinue other municipal utility services to the premises for which the sewer service is provided. The aforesaid lien may be enforced in the same manner as mechanic's liens are enforced in the State of Illinois; however, compliance with the notice provisions of the mechanic's lien law of the State of Illinois shall not be necessary to such enforcement.
