rendered by the authority to the tenant. The authority
shall notify the owner and the tenant within 30 days
after the tenant's bill for that service first becomes
overdue. Notification shall be provided by first class
mail to the address of the owner provided to the
authority by the owner and to the billing address of the
tenant, respectively. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to relieve the owner of liability for such
service unless the authority fails to provide the notice
required in this paragraph.
(ii) In the case of an authority which has agreed to
provide sewer service to a nonresidential property owner
and that owner has failed to pay a sewer bill for at
least six months, the right to seek a judicial order for
termination of sewer service for nonpayment. If a lien
has been filed under the act of May 16, 1923 (P.L.207,
No.153), referred to as the Municipal Claim and Tax Lien
Law, an action for termination of service may be brought
in any court of competent jurisdiction. If an order is
issued, termination of service to the premises may be
commenced by the authority only after: the sending of
notice to the defendant by certified mail at least one
week prior to the sewer service shutoff date; a posting
on the premises that sewer service shutoff will occur in
24 hours; and a written notice to the local or county
health department, if one exists, and the regional office
of the Department of Environmental Protection one week
prior to the service shutoff.
