No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connections with or openings into, use, alter, or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the superintendent; it is unlawful for any person to connect a sanitary sewer outlet to a storm sewer of the city or to connect a storm sewer outlet serving any private property to the sanitary sewer of the city. If any private property has a sanitary sewer connected to the city storm sewer, then the superintendent or his agent may require a one-hundred-dollar hookup charge as provided for in this chapter; provided, however, thereafter the same property owner or his successor shall not be charged an additional hookup charge for later connection to a city storm sewer; it being presumed that the city has previously licensed the storm sewer hookup. If any private property has a storm sewer outlet connected with the city sanitary sewer, the superintendent may require the disconnection of such hookup and the connection to a storm sewer and the private property owner shall be obligated for the one-hundred-dollar hookup charge as provided for in this chapter; provided, however, thereafter such property owner or his successor shall not be required to pay an additional hookup charge for hooking up to the city sanitary sewer; it being presumed that the city has previously licensed the sanitary hookup.
