923.13 PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION OF WATER LINES; REIMBURSEMENT.

   (a)   The owner or owners of lots or lands who construct a water line for his or their own use in accordance with the City engineering specification, is exempt from the foot frontage assessment. This exemption shall apply to all succeeding land owners providing that the land use for the water services does not change. If the land use changes, the fees in Sections 923.09 and 923.10 shall apply.

   (b)   During a period of ten years, any adjacent property owner who did not participate in the construction cost of the water line, unless the prior land owner did and who desires a tap into this line for a lateral shall reimburse, through the City, the person or persons that paid for the construction, the sum of fifteen dollars ($15.00) per foot frontage for each side of the street, or thirty dollars ($30.00) per foot for both sides of the street.

   (c)   After the ten year period expires, no reimbursements shall be made to the owners who privately constructed the water line. In lieu of such reimbursement, the fees in Sections 923.10 and 923.11 shall be paid to the City and retained by the City.
