In the interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare, cities may enforce collection of lawful rates and charges for the use of municipal sewer facilities by requiring that water service, whether provided publicly or privately, be discontinued until payment is made or some satisfactory arrangement is reached. Cities may delegate to sewer bodies the power to issue orders to water suppliers to discontinue service to any person who is delinquent in paying sewer charges.
