A. No sewer connection connecting the city sanitary sewer system to any consumer shall be made or used by any person or the city, except upon written application furnished to the city by the owner, or his authorized agent, of the premises to which sanitary sewer service is to be furnished. Notwithstanding the requirement of an application to connect to the city's sanitary sewer system, any person or entity connecting to the sanitary system without first making application shall, in addition to being guilty of a violation of this chapter, be responsible for all connection fees, capacity fees, and monthly charges otherwise applicable, including late fees, retroactive to the date of connection.
B. All persons, entities or other consumers connected to the sanitary sewer system shall pay a monthly service fee, as set forth in the City Consolidated Fee Schedule, until the service is disconnected and discontinued by order of the sewer department or written order of the owner or his authorized agent. In addition to the monthly charge, all consumers shall pay the initial sewer connection fee, if any, set forth in the City Consolidated Fee Schedule.
C. The initial sewer connection fee is nonrefundable.
D. Applications for city sanitary sewer service outside the city corporate limits must be approved by resolution of the city council. The city council shall have the right to consider each application presented to it separately, with the privilege of approving only those areas that are beneficial to the city, and that protect health, safety and welfare of its citizens. No prior approval as herein set forth shall set a precedent for subsequent approval(s).
