Section 2. That said assessments, together with all interest and penalties for default in payment thereof and all cost of collecting the same, shall from the time of final publication of this Ordinance, constitute a perpetual lien against each lot or tract of land described, on a parity with the tax lien for general, state, county, city or school taxes and no sale of such property to enforce general, state, county, city or school tax or other lien shall extinguish the perpetual lien of such assessment.

 

Section 3. That said assessment shall be due and payable within thirty days after the final publication of said Ordinance without demand; provided that all such assessments may at the election of the owner be paid in installments with interest as hereinafter provided. Failure to pay the whole assessment within the said period of thirty days shall be conclusively considered and held an election on the part of all persons interested, whether under disability or otherwise, to pay in such installments. All persons so electing to pay in installments shall be conclusively considered and held as consenting to said improvements, and such election shall be conclusively considered and held as a waiver of any and all rights to question the power and jurisdiction of the City to construct the improvements, the quality of the work and the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings, or the validity or correctness of the assessment.

Section 8. That all provisions of Ordinance No. 178 of the City of Grand Junction, as amended, being Chapter 18 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Grand Junction, shall govern and be taken to be a part of this Ordinance with respect to the creation of said Sanitary Sewer District No. 35-84, the construction of the improvements therein, the apportionment and assessment of the cost thereof and the collection of such assessments.
