A. Filing of Lien. The city’s sewer lien shall be effective in an amount not to exceed six month’s delinquent service charges without the necessity of any writing or recording of the lien with the county auditor for the county in which the property is located. If the sewer service charges remain unpaid for a period exceeding six months, the city may include such charges within its lien by filing a sewer lien notice in the office of the county auditor, in the form set forth in RCW 35.67.210, as now existing or hereafter amended, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

B. Foreclosure of Lien. The city may foreclose on a sewer lien against the property to which service was provided within the time allowed by law. Notice of the city’s initiation of the foreclosure proceeding shall be mailed to the property owner, by certified mail, return receipt requested. If payment in full is received, the city shall discontinue the foreclosure action. Nothing contained in this code shall be construed as a waiver of liens, and the city shall have all rights as provided in Chapter 35.67 RCW, as now existing or hereafter amended. (Ord. 1634 § 1, 1996).
