In the case of any lot or lots not yet served by a public or district sewer, such a sewer to serve such property may be constructed according to the specifications of the city director of public works after the creation of a special improvement district created as required by law, unless the same qualify as a public trunk sewer; provided, however, that any person or persons owning any such lot or lots not yet served by such a sewer may cause such sewer to be constructed at his or their own expense without the creation of a special improvement district under the following conditions: such sewer must be constructed in all particulars according to the specifications of the city.
Before undertaking the installations of any such sewer, the contractor, or the authorized agent thereof, employed to make such installation, must file an application with the city clerk for approval by the city director of public works, setting out the course of said sewer, its point of connection with the existing public sewer, the materials to be used, the location of manholes, the estimated or contract cost, a description of the property to be served and the names of the owners thereof; the name of the contractor who is to perform the work, and such other information as the city may require.
The application must be signed by the property owners who are causing such installation to be made, and must contain a statement that said property owners have agreed to pay the contractor his contract price and will save the city harmless from any claims arising from such work.
Upon completion, such sewer shall become a part of the public sewer system of Chinook.
In the event any sewer installation shall be made by property owners as hereinabove in this section provided, before the owners of any property served thereby, or any contractor or drain layer on their behalf, shall connect his premises by private sewer to such sewer installation, he shall make application for and receive a permit in the manner provided by Section 13.28.140 of this article, and in addition to the matters required by said section to be shown by him, he must present to the city satisfactory evidence that he has paid his proportionate share of the cost of such installation and is entitled to be served thereby, and until such evidence is presented, no permit for such connection shall be issued to him.
