Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Montana Code Annotated section 7-12-4133, as amended, connections from the public water main to the property line of the adjacent property shall be made prior to the permanent improvement of the streets whereon they are located. The making of such connections on streets already improved, or on unimproved streets, shall be in accordance with all applicable provisions of these rules and regulations. In case the owners of the property on such streets fail to make such connections prior to the commencement of such street improvements, the city 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 section shall be enforced and collected in the same manner as other special assessments provided for in Montana Code Annotated title 7, chapter 6, part 44, and amendments thereof.
