The Director of Public Works may compel the making of sewer and water con-nections whenever, in view of contemplated street improvements or as a sanitary regulation, sewer or water connections should in the Director's judgment be constructed. The Director shall cause written notice of the Director's determination thereof to be given to the owner of each lot or parcel of land to which such connections are to be made, which notice shall state the number and character of connections required. Such notice shall be served by a person designated by the Director of Public Works, in the manner provided for the service of sum-mons in civil actions. Nonresidents of the City, or persons who cannot be found, may be served by one publication of notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, which notice shall state the time within which such connection shall be constructed; and if they be not constructed within the said time, the work may be done by the City and the cost thereof, together with a penalty of five percent (5 percent) assessed against the lots and lands for which such connections are made. Said assessments shall be certified and collected as other assessments for street improvement.
