A. Water Lien – Enforcement by Water Cutoff. If any charges remain unpaid on the twenty-fifth day of the second month following billing, the finance department shall notify the director of the public works department to discontinue water service to the premises, by water cutoff, and such service may not be restored until all delinquent water service charges are paid, together with any cutoff fee as may be established from time to time by resolution of the city council. Water cutoff notices shall be mailed to the last known address of the property owner and any known tenant. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed as a waiver of liens, and the city shall have all rights as provided in RCW 34.21.290, as now existing or hereafter amended.

B. Water Lien – Extinguishment by Payment and Request for Water Cutoff. If the owner of the premises to which water service was furnished, or the owner of a delinquent mortgage thereon, makes a written request to the city finance department to cut off water service to such premises, accompanied by payment or tender of payment of all delinquent charges, together with any required cutoff fee, the city’s lien shall be extinguished against the premises to which water service was furnished. (Ord. 2063 § 1, 2011; Ord. 1634 § 1, 1996).
