No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter, or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the City. There shall be three classes of building sewer permits: (i) residential service, (ii) commercial service, and (iii) industrial service. In either case, the owner or the owner’s agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the City. The application for the permit shall set forth the location and description of the property to be connected with the sewer system and the purpose for which the sewer is to be used, and shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent. The permit shall require the owner to complete construction and connection of the building sewer to the public sewer within six months after the issuance of the permit, except that when a property owner make sufficient showing that due to conditions beyond the owner’s control or peculiar hardship, such time period is inequitable or unfair, an extension of time within which to comply with the provisions herein may be granted. Any sewer connection permit may be revoked at any time for a violation of these chapters.
The person who makes the application for a permit application shall pay all the required permit fees, including the connection fees, as follows:
1. 10 cents per square foot for residential development
2. One and one-half cents per square foot for commercial development
3. Two cents per square foot for industrial development
