Prior to making permanent improvements to streets in the city, wherein gas pipes, water pipes, steam heating pipes and sewers are installed and located, connections from such gas pipes, water pipes, steam heating pipes and sewers to the curb line of the adjacent property shall be made; and, on streets already improved the City Council may direct and regulate connections from such pipes to the adjacent property as is deemed necessary. In case the owners of the property on such streets shall fail to make such connections within the time fixed by the Council, the Council may cause such connections to be made, and shall assess against the property in front of which said connections are made the entire cost and expense thereof. All assessments levied under the provisions of this chapter shall be enforced and collected in the same manner as other special assessments provided for in the Revised Codes of Montana.
