GENERAL REFERENCES
Municipal Utilities Authority — See Ch. 67.
Any municipal water authority or company providing services to any parcel
of real property owned by any person other than the state or an agency or
subdivision thereof in the Township of Lower shall be permitted to make application
to the Tax Collector of the Township for the imposition of a lien on such
parcel upon the following conditions:
A.
A service charge of the municipal water authority or
company with regard to any parcel or real property owned by any person other
than the state or agency or subdivision thereof in the Township is unpaid
as and when due.
B.
The municipal water authority or company shall file in
the office of the Tax Collector of the Township a statement showing the amount
and due date of such unpaid balance for service charges and identify such
parcel, which identification may be sufficiently made by reference to the
assessment map of the Township.
The Tax Collector of the Township shall record within 30 days of receipt of that statement provided in § 658-1B hereinabove as a lien any unpaid service charges plus interest at the rate charged by said municipal water authority or company in the same manner as prescribed by the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:14B-42.
Whenever any outstanding service charges and any subsequent service
charge with regard to such parcel and all interest accrued thereon shall have
been fully paid to the municipal water authority, such statements shall be
promptly withdrawn or cancelled by the municipal water authority or company.
The Tax Collector or other official of the Township charged by law with
the duty of enforcing municipal liens on real property shall enforce, with
and as other municipal liens on real property in such Township, all service
charges and the lien thereof shown in any statement filed with said Collector
or officer by any municipal water authority or company pursuant to the preceding
sections of this chapter and N.J.S.A. 40:14B-42, and shall pay over to the
municipal water authority or company the sums or prorated share of the sums
as upon such enforcement or upon liquidation of any property acquired by the
Township by virtue of such enforcement. Any added administrative expenses
or costs shall be paid by the municipal water authority or company.
In the event that a service charge of any municipal water authority
or company with regard to any parcel or real property shall not be paid as
and when due, interest shall accrue and be due to the municipal water authority
or company on the unpaid balance at the rate charged by said municipal water
authority or company until such service charge and the interest thereon shall
be fully paid to the municipal water authority or company.
