§ 13.08.050. SANITATION CHARGES - FAILURE TO PAY.

(A) In the event that the owner or occupant of premises connected to the city sewerage system shall fail to pay any charge or rental provided in this chapter when the same may become due, the city may, in addition to any other remedies it may have, discontinue furnishing water and shall not resume the same until all delinquent charges and rental under this chapter together with any service charge necessitated by the resumption of water service, have been fully paid.

(B) In addition or in the alternative, and at the option of the city, the city may file a civil action for the collection of any amounts due and unpaid. This remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to the remedy or means of enforcing payment of the sums required to be paid by this chapter stated in division (A) of this section.

(C) In the alternative, the City Council may, pursuant to Cal. Health and Safety Code §§ 5473 and 5473a and by an ordinance approved by a two-thirds vote of the Council, elect to have such delinquent charges collected on the tax roll in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as together with and not separately from, its general taxes, and shall give the notice, hold the hearing, prepare and file the report as to such delinquencies as required by the Cal. Health and Safety Code. The said delinquent charges shall thereafter, pursuant to and in the manner provided in said code, constitute a lien against the lot or parcel of land against which the charge has been imposed.
