The amount of any sewer connection fee shall be deemed a debt owing to the city, and any person who connects a street sewer without having paid the connection fee in full as in this article provided, or any portion thereof, shall be liable in an action in the name of the city in any court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of such fee. The conviction and punishment of any person for connecting to a street sewer without obtaining a permit to do so shall not relieve such person from paying the connection fee due and unpaid at the time of such conviction, nor shall the payment of any connection fee prevent a criminal prosecution for the violation of any of the provisions of this article. All remedies prescribed hereunder shall be cumulative, and the use of any one or more remedies shall not bar the use of any other remedy for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this article.
