A. If any plat of subdivision contains public streets or thoroughfares which are therein dedicated as such, whether located within the corporate limits of the city or outside thereof, or contains existing streets outside of said corporate limits, the approval of the plat by the city council, or the subsequent annexation of the property to the city, shall not constitute an acceptance by the city of such streets or thoroughfares, nor of the improvements constructed or installed thereon or therein, irrespective of any act or acts by any officer, agent or employee of the city with respect to such streets or improvements. The acceptance of such streets or thoroughfares shall be made only by the adoption of a resolution by the city council, after there has been filed with the city clerk a certificate by the city engineer certifying that all improvements required to be constructed or installed in or upon such streets or thoroughfares in connection with the approval of the plat of subdivision by the city council have been fully completed and the construction or installation thereof has been approved by said engineer.
B. No permanent connection shall be made or maintained with the sanitary or storm sewer or water supply systems of the city to serve property within the subdivision until the certificate by the city engineer, as provided in subsection A of this section, has been filed, and not until any money owing to the city for permit fees for the connections with said systems or any of them have been paid.
