October 29, 2010 <br /> Thomas & Patricia Kubalak <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> Sec. 14-110. Billing, payment and delinquency. <br /> (a) All municipal utilities shall be billed quarterly, and a utilities statement or statements shall <br /> be mailed to each consumer. All utility charges shall be delinquent if they remain unpaid <br /> after 30 days from the date of the bill. Payments received on or before the 30th day shall <br /> be deemed as paid within that period. A penalty of eight percent shall be added to and <br /> become part of all delinquent utility bills. If service is suspended due to delinquency, it <br /> shall not be restored at that location until a reconnection charge has been paid for each <br /> utility reconnected in addition to amounts owed for service and penalties. If delinquent <br /> charges are specially assessed under subsection (b) of this section, an additional sum of <br /> eight percent computed on the delinquent amount of charges and penalties shall be <br /> added to and become part of the amount so assessed to cover administrative costs of <br /> making the assessment. <br /> (b) Payment for service and charges provided for in this section shall be the primary <br /> responsibility of the owner of the premises served and shall be billed to him unless <br /> otherwise authorized in writing by the tenant and owner and consented to by the city. The <br /> city may collect the payment in a civil action or, in the alternative and at the option of the <br /> city, as otherwise provided in this subsection. Each such charge is made a lien upon the <br /> premises served. All such charges which are on September 1 of each year more than 45 <br /> days past due shall be certified by the city clerk to the county auditor on or before <br /> December 1 of each year; and the city clerk in so certifying such charges to the county <br /> auditor shall specify the amount, the description of the premises served, and the name of <br /> the owner. The amount so certified shall be extended by the auditor on the tax rolls <br /> against such premises in the same manner as other taxes, collected by the county <br /> treasurer, and paid to the city along with other taxes. <br /> (Code 1984, § 3.05((1), (8))) <br /> Sec. 75-10. Certification. <br /> The council shall certify all unpaid costs to the county auditor, who shall enter them upon the tax <br /> records as a lien upon such land to be collected in the same manner as other real estate taxes are <br /> collected. <br /> (Ord. No. 65 3rd series, § 2, 11-23-2009) <br />
