(A) All water and sewer tap-in fees hereafter collected in full payment of the schedule of such fees shall run with the land for a period of five years from the date issued, and shall pass to subsequent owners of the land for which the fee was paid, and the tap-in may be made within the five-year period. If no tap-in is made within that period, a new tap-in fee must be paid in accordance with the schedule in force at the time that the new application for a tap-in is made.
(B) All water and sewer tap-in fees collected in full payment of the schedule of such fees prior to the effective date of this section shall run with the land and shall pass to subsequent owners of the land for which the fee was paid, and the tap-ins may be made at any time, for the reason that Council believes that Ohio Constitution Art. II, § 28 prohibits the passing of retroactive laws.
(C) There being no provision in any previous ordinance permitting refund of tap-in fees paid for, but not used by the applicant, it is now hereby ordained that no such refund shall be made.
