Any charge for sewage disposal service not paid within forty-five days from date due and payable shall bear interest at the rate of eight percent per year and such charge and interest shall immediately become a lien upon the property to which such sewer service is rendered, superior to all other liens or encumbrances except those for general taxes and special assessments. Such liens shall be foreclosed by the city in the manner provided by law for the enforcement of the same and for delinquent sewage charges. As an additional and concurrent method of enforcing the lien herein provided, the city may cut off the water service from the premises to which such sewage disposal service was furnished, and such water service shall remain cut off until such charges, plus penalties and interest thereon, together with an additional sum of five dollars for turning the water on. (Prior code § 14.12.190.)
