§ 36-161. Sewers in annexed territory to become property of city.  


Latest version.
  • Wherever any sanitary sewer or appurtenances built under any permit granted by city council pursuant to this division is located in territory which becomes a part of the city, by annexation or otherwise, the facilities so constructed, under permit or otherwise, shall immediately become the property of the city, free from all liens or claims of any persons whatsoever. In order to fully protect the city in its right and claim to any sanitary sewer or appurtenance becoming a part of the city by annexation or otherwise, the city shall have lien upon any such facility for which permission is granted, which lien shall be superior to any other lien, encumbrance or mortgage on the said facility, and the said lien shall take precedence over any other character of lien that may be sought to be placed upon the sanitary sewers or appurtenances by the person asking for the permit. The city may enforce its lien in any court having proper jurisdiction thereof.
