(A) Permit fee required. No person shall uncover, tap, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter, or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first having obtained permission to do so and a written permit for that work from the city showing compliance with all of the applicable provisions of this chapter. No permit shall issue without the applicant first having paid to the City Clerk-Treasurer the fee or charge set for that permit by resolution of the City Council.
(B) Assessments paid. No drain or connection to the municipal sewer shall be made or built, repaired, extended, or connected with the public sewer nor shall any permit for such work issue or be approved unless and until all assessments for sewer construction against the property, or such installments thereof as shall be due at the time such connection is made, are paid.
(C) Work completed. All work authorized by a permit shall be completed and all required inspections performed within six months of the date the permit issued. Failure to complete the work within that time period will require application for a new permit.
(D) Connection fees. The city may charge a fee for the tapping or connection to the municipal sewage system in addition to the permit fee. All such fees shall be determined by resolution of the City Council and must be paid in advance to the City Clerk-Treasurer prior to the issuance of a permit for such work.
