Section 14-172 Liens.
(a) Any charges made by the city for furnishing water and sewer services and services related thereto, including connection fees, meter installation fees, tapping fees, and charges for every kind of service necessary or incidental to the furnishing of water and sewer services, shall constitute a lien against the real property to which such services are furnished, whether such real property is located within or without the corporate limits of the city, upon the issuance and recording of an execution as follows. (b) Should the customer fail to pay any of the foregoing charges and such charges be in default for a period of ten (10) days after the due date, the utilities superintendent shall be authorized to have an execution issued by the city clerk, which execution shall issue against the property as described on the latest ad valorem tax digest and in personam against the owner of the property, for the principal amount due plus interest at the rate of twelve (12) percent per annum from the due date and the sum of two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) cost for issuance of the execution. Subsequent costs shall be the same as those allowed by law relative to tax executions. The execution shall constitute a lien against the property from the time of its filing, which lien shall rank on a parity with and be of equal dignity to other liens for special tax assessments. (Code 1958, 19-91; Ord. of 5-22-95(1), XVI)
