All unpaid water, sewer, storm water, garbage, and irrigation charges, penalties and collection fees shall become liens against the property to which they apply to the maximum extent as provided by state law. Pursuant to RCW 35.67.215, the sewage lien shall be effective for a total not to exceed one year’s delinquent service charges without the necessity of any writing or recording of the lien with the County Auditor. As an additional and concurrent method of enforcing the liens authorized by this section, the City shall have the authority to terminate domestic and nondomestic water service to said property or customer. Termination of such water service shall not limit other remedies available to the City under state law. Except as provided by RCW 35.21.217, the property receiving this utility service shall be released from the utility lien as provided by this section in the case of a closed tenant account with unpaid charges. [Ord. 4344, 2017; Code 1970 § 3.200.120.]
