13.20.444 Nonlienable property class of utility customers.
A. There is hereby created a class of utility customers where the customers receiving sewer utility services are receiving such services at property for which the city does not have the right to lien the property for nonpayment of utility services. The utility rates for such customers shall be as set forth in ACC 13.20.440; provided, that the city can also collect a utility services deposit as described as follows:
1. The dollar amount of four months of the current city sewer rate and King County wastewater treatment rate based upon the level of service. Non-single-family services will base deposit on the base rate plus flow rates. Estimated flow rate will be calculated from the estimated measure of ccf’s used to calculate the water portion of the deposit; and
2. The sum of the current rate for three late fees per city code, and one shut off fee and one meter removal fee if applicable.
B. For the purposes hereof, “nonlienable property” means property which is owned or held by a governmental or nongovernmental entity in such a way that it is immune from utility lien collection efforts of the city.
C. This new class of utility customers shall include new customers – new applications for utility services on nonlienable property and existing and former customers of utility services on nonlienable property whose utility services have been terminated for nonpayment or whose accounts have been referred to collection or to other utility payment enforcement services or personnel for nonpayment of utility services.
