The municipality, through the Municipal Sewer Department, shall furnish sewer service to property within its corporate limits if such property abuts a street or alley in which a commercial main is now or may hereafter be laid. The municipality may also furnish sewer service to property situated outside the corporate limits of the municipality, as and when, according to law, the governing body may see fit to do so. The rules, regulations and sewer rental rates hereinafter named in this chapter, shall be considered a part of every application hereafter made for sewer service and shall be considered a part of the contract between every property owner now or hereafter served. Without further formality, the making of the application by a property owner for himself or herself or the use of sewer service by tenants residing on such property and the furnishing of sewer service to such property shall constitute a contract between the property owner and the municipality, to which said contract both parties are bound. If the property owner, or tenants residing on such property, shall violate any of the provisions of said contract or any reasonable rules amid regulations that the governing body may hereafter adopt, the Sewer Commissioner or his or her designated agent, may cut off or disconnect the sewer service to the property. No further connection for sewer service to said property shall again be made except by order of the Sewer Commissioner or his or her designated agent.
