No person shall connect with or tap any sanitary or storm sewer in the City when the property to be served has not been assessed for lateral services. In this event, no plumber or other person shall make any connection with or tap any sewer, nor shall the director grant a connection permit until the owner of the property to be served or the person desiring such connection first makes formal application to the director for permission to tap or connect with the public sewers, and complies with the conditions and requirements of the City which may include the payment of an equitable amount for lateral service. The director reserves the right to refuse to grant a permit to any person who shall desire to connect with the public sewers, where the property to be served has not been assessed for lateral service, or, if assessed, has not made such payment for any reason whatever.
