(A) Upon request of the owner, or his agent, of a given lot or tract of land, for the purpose of this subchapter known as the “applicant,” accompanied by the payment of the charges due under this subchapter, the city shall extend, lay or construct all necessary sanitary sewer and water mains, including valves and hydrants, a distance of 100 feet, plus the distance across the frontage necessary to provide the service for which application has been made. The property owner to be served shall be required to pay the charge herein provided for. The owners of all intervening property served by the given main extension shall be required to pay the charges provided for herein at such time as their property is connected to the mains thus laid. Where an applicant for service secured an extension and service under this particular option for main extension, he shall pay the pro rata charges on all property owned by him which is served by the extension requested. In applying the 100-foot rule, the required extension of main shall be figured in such a manner as to leave out of the calculation that portion of any main adjacent to property already having other than a temporary water service and for which the pro rata charges thereon have been paid or credited under the terms of this subchapter. Only one extension under the 100-foot rule will be given to an individual during a 12-month period.
(B) An exception to the above 100-foot rule shall be made where two or more individual applicants desire water and/or sewer service and the nearest applicant is more than 100 feet from existing lines, the city will extend their mains upon payment of the charge due under this subchapter, provided, that there is one customer for every 100 feet of such extension, excluding street intersections and that portion of the extension adjacent to property already having other than temporary water and/or sewer service.
(C) At the option of the city the following method for extending water and sewer mains may be used where the applicant's property is more than 100 feet from an existing water and sewer main. This method shall be available only for use by an individual owner, person or corporation to secure water and sewer service for the individual's residence or place of business. Where eligible for this option, the owner may advance and pay into the city, the entire pro rata costs, as set forth in this subchapter.
