If the property to be drained by a proposed private sewer, building sewer, or connection has ever been assessed for the construction of a sanitary improvement district sewer and any such assessment is due, no permit for the construction of such private or building sewer or for connection with any sanitary improvement district sewer will be issued until such assessment has been paid. A permit shall not be issued for the construction of such private or building sewer to drain any lot of ground within such sanitary improvement district, during the construction of any sanitary improvement district sewer, prior to the payment of the assessment of the cost thereof. No connection of any private sewer with any sanitary improvement district sewer shall be made unless the contractor for such sanitary improvement district sewer first joins with the owner of the lot in making application for the permit and waives all claim for all damage thereby. If such owner fails to obtain such concurrence of the contractor, he/she can file a contract with the city clerk agreeing to pay the amount of all assessments for laterals as soon as they become due and also agreeing to pay the contractor for any damage that he/she may sustain by reason of the connection made by the property owner, which contract shall, by its terms, be made a lien upon the property to be drained.
