913.05 CITY'S EXPENSES TO BE REIMBURSED.

   Where public sewers or water mains have been constructed and the cost thereof has been wholly or partially paid out of funds of the City or financed through the issuance of bonds, and the owner of any property abutting upon such sewers or water mains makes application to tap such sewers or water mains, no permit shall be issued to such abutting property owner to make such connection or connections, nor shall such abutting property owner make such connection or connections unless he has first paid into the City Treasury, or given security for such payment satisfactory to the fiscal officer of the City, that portion of the cost of such sewers or water mains, for which a connection or connections are desired to be made, which was paid by the City or was formerly charged in the form of an assessment, but which assessment the City has been unable to collect due to defects in procedure or the failure to obtain an assessment lien for such cost. However, where the cost of such sewers or water mains to which connections are desired to be made has been assessed against such abutting property and a valid assessment lien imposed thereon for such cost, or where, in the case of an invalid assessment, reassessment for such cost may be levied under and by authority of Ohio R.C. 727.39, such permit shall be issued, provided the same conforms with the other regulations of the City. (Ord. 1963-180. Passed 12-2-63.)
