11-3-14: ACCEPTANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS:
   A.   If any plat of subdivision contains public streets or thoroughfares which are therein dedicated as such, whether located within the corporate limits of the village or outside thereof, or contains existing streets outside of said corporate limits, the approval of the plat by the board of trustees, or the subsequent annexation of the property to the village, shall not constitute an acceptance by the village of such streets or thoroughfares, nor of the improvements constructed or installed thereon or therein, irrespective of any act or acts by any officer, agent or employee of the village with respect to such streets or improvements. The acceptance of such streets or thoroughfares shall be made only by the adoption of a resolution by the village board after there has been filed with the village clerk a certificate by the village engineer certifying that all improvements required to be constructed or installed in or upon such streets or thoroughfares in connection with the approval of the plat of subdivision by the village board have been approved by him.
   B.   No permanent connection shall be made or maintained with the sanitary or storm sewer or water supply systems of the village to serve property within the subdivision until the certificate by the village engineer, as hereinabove provided, has been filed, and not until any money owing the village for permit fees for the connections with said systems, or any of them, have been paid.
