(1)The County Council of New Castle County shall establish regulations and fees for the issuance of sewer permits required in § 2216 of this title. Upon issuance of the sewer permit, the fees for such permits shall become liens against the property for which the permit is issued. The lien for sewer permits and the lien for sewer service shall be superior and paramount to the interest in such parcel of any owner, lessee, tenant, mortgagee, or other person, except to the lien of taxes.
(2)The Department of Public Works shall issue the permits and collect the fees arising therefrom for the use of the County Council. The Department of Public Works shall, under supervision and direction of the County Council, prepare a docket to be known as the “New Castle County Sewer Lien Docket” in which shall be recorded the liens for sewer permits. The form of the Docket shall be established by the County Council. No sewer permit lien shall be valid unless duly recorded in the said Docket. All sewer permit liens duly recorded in the Docket shall continue in full force and effect until the liens have been satisfied by payment, and when such liens are satisfied by payment the Department of Public Works, acting under the supervision and direction of the County Council, shall satisfy of record the liens, entering thereon the date of final payment, and signing the Docket. The Department of Public Works, for the use of the County Council, shall receive a fee of $0.50 for each satisfaction so recorded.
(3)The County Council shall also establish the form in which the record of the sewer service liens shall be kept. Such records shall be in the custody of the Department of Public Works.
(b)All proceedings taken and all acts done prior to April 10, 1957, purporting to establish liens for sewer service and for front foot fees are legalized, validated and confirmed, notwithstanding any errors, omissions or irregularities in the act or the establishment of a sewer lien docket or other records relating thereto.
