§ 34-31. Lien for delinquent charges.

(a)

Charges for water service shall become a lien upon the premises. Whenever a bill for water service remains unpaid 60 days after it has been rendered, the clerk may file with the county recorder a statement of lien claim. This statement shall contain the legal description of the premises served, the amount of the unpaid bill, and a notice that the town claims a lien for this amount as well as for all charges for water served subsequent to the period covered by the bill.

(b)

Property subject to a lien for unpaid water charges may be sold for nonpayment of the same, and the proceeds of such sale shall be applied to pay the charges, after deducting costs, as in the case of the foreclosure of statutory liens.
