§ 13.04.040. Responsibility for utility payment.
A.
Utility accounts will be maintained in the name of the owner or occupant of the premises served, as specified at the time of application for service or thereafter changed by written request. If the account is in the name of an occupant who is not the owner of the premises, the owner remains responsible for payment of all utility related fees and charges if the occupant fails to make such payment in a timely manner.
B.
The city may use all legal or equitable remedies for collection of overdue utility fees and charges in connection with provision of utility services, including fees for service or consumption and charges duly made for construction, installation or repairing the facilities. Judgments obtained for unpaid utility fees and charges shall be imposed as a lien against real property and foreclosed in the same manner as a lien for taxes due.
