Payment of fees shall be made to the city clerk. Upon application, and payment of fees, the city shall tap the water system and main, and place the water to the property line except as hereinabove limited.
B. Where, at the time a building permit is applied for, if the proposed building or structure as shown by the plans accompanying the building permit shows that one tapping of the water main or source will service more than one commercial or residential unit, then only one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00) shall be necessary for each ten (10) units so proposed. The following schedule shall apply to multiple units on one tapping of the water main:
0 to 10 units | $1,500.00 | ||

21 to 30 units | 4,500.00 | ||
Over 30 units | 1,500.00 | (for each 10 units or part of 10 units) |
Provided further, that should a multiple-unit complex require more than one tapping of the water main, the above schedule shall apply for each tapping.
C. No proration of the water connection fee shall be allowed for uneven numbers of commercial or residential units.
D. In the event that no building permit is required then, nevertheless, plans of the proposed structure shall be submitted to the city with the application for water service. If no application is given to the city, the city shall not be obligated to provide water service.
E. The above set forth fees shall apply to independent mobile homes in the same way as they apply to permanent structures. It is intended that the above special rates shall apply to only multiple-family dwellings, motels, hotels, business malls or trailer courts, as the same are usually understood and defined. The special rates shall not apply to separate single-family dwellings or mobile home units.
