(A) No sewer connection to the city POTW shall be made by any person or the city except upon approval of the city. A written application for sewer connection shall be furnished to the city by the owner, as reflected in the records of the Maricopa County Assessor's Office, of the property to which sanitary sewer service is to be furnished or by the owner's designated representative, evidenced by a notarized power-of-attorney signed by the owner, or by such other alternative means as set by the city. If ownership of a recent transferee of property is not reflected in the County Assessor's records, ownership may be established by a fully executed sales agreement or other documentation acceptable to the city.
(B) An initial sewer connection fee shall be required in addition to a monthly charge for the sanitary sewer connection according to the rates fixed by the city until the service is discontinued by order of the Public Works Department or written order of the owner or the owner's designated representative. A charge shall be made for re-application of service to an existing connection. Any sewer connection fee is non-refundable. Sewer connection fees will be waived by the city for all properties, both residential and commercial, located within city limits that sign up for connection for the POTW prior to July 1,1987, and whose use was in existence prior to May 1, 1987.
