All rates, charges, tolls, fees, and assessments for Town sewer service shall be paid by the owner or owners of the premises served. The Town shall not be bound by any agreement between an owner and occupant concerning water or sewer service payments, irrespective of whether the Town has been notified of the agreement. Until paid, all sewer rates, charges, tolls, fees, and assessments shall become and remain a first and perpetual lien on or against the premises served. This lien on the premises may be foreclosed by an action at law or in equity in the name of the Town in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Town shall have the right to collect from any customer delinquent on their account all legal, court, and other costs necessary or incidental to collection of any delinquent amount, including reasonable attorney’s fees, filing fees, and recording costs.

In the event any rates, charges, tolls, fees, and assessments are not paid when due, the Town Treasurer may certify the amount to the County Treasurer to be placed on the tax list for the current year and to be collected in the same manner as other taxes are collected, with ten percent (10%) added to defray the costs of collection. All laws of this state for the assessment and collection of general taxes, including the laws for the sale of property for taxes and redemption of the same, shall apply. (Ord. 500 §1, 2004)
