The tap-in charge shall be nine dollars and five cents ($9.05) per front foot at the road right-of-way line for any property annexed to the City by a petition filed with the Board of County Commissioners after 1966 if such property has not been assessed a tap-in charge previously, except the tap-in charge shall be fifteen dollars and four cents ($15.04) per front foot at the road right-of-way line for any property annexed to the City by a petition filed with the Board of County Commissioners tied into the water lines in Sleepy Hollow Road or Pearl Road as described in Resolution No. 109-77.

This suspension shall apply to any lot, tract or acreage for which a connection to the City's water lines is desired, provided that petitions for the annexation of such properties are filed prior to February 28, 1990. Thereafter, the tap-in charges shall be at the rate or rates established in subsection (a) above per front foot at the road right-of-way line on any property annexed to the City by a petition filed with the Medina County Commissioners after February 28, 1990, and not having been assessed a tap-in charge previously.
