City of Arden Hills Chapter 10 Utilities C. Seven bills are due at the end of the billing month, and accordingly the delinquency charge hereunder will be imposed more than a month after the due date of a billing. Subd. 4 Collection. Any amounts due for sanitary sewer charges in excess of 90 days past due may be collected in a civil action brought for that purpose in the name of the City; or the City Administrator, upon direction by the Council, may certify to the county auditor the amount due, together with the legal description of the premises served, and the City Administrator in so certifying, shall add to the amount as a separate item, in addition to the delinquency penalty an additional delinquency penalty of eight (8%) percent of the original unpaid amount, inclusive of any previous delinquency penalty. The county auditor shall enter the amount as part of the tax levied on the premises to be collected during the ensuing year. No additional delinquency penalties shall be added to unpaid bills after certification to the county auditor. To avoid imposition of this additional delinquency penalty, payment in full of the unpaid sanitary sewer bill and the original or previous delinquency penalty must be received by the City Administrator no later than February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30. 1010.12 Sewer Availability.
