It is the duty of every owner or occupant of any property within the city, having a dwelling house or business building situated thereon, which property is within five hundred feet (500') of any municipal water and sewer mains, to install a toilet in such dwelling or business building and make connection thereof with such water and sewer mains. Whenever the noncompliance of the owner or occupant of such property is reported to the city, the city administrator shall forthwith make such investigation as he deems necessary or proper and report his findings to the council. If the council finds and reports that the lack of toilet facilities is an unhealthful or insanitary condition, the city shall forthwith serve written notice upon said owner or occupant requiring the installation of toilet facilities upon premises described in said notice, and connection thereof with the sewer and water mains, all of which shall be done within thirty (30) days after service of such written notice. Whenever any owner or occupant shall default in compliance with such written notice, the council may by resolution direct that a toilet be installed and connection made with the water and sewer mains and that the actual cost of such installation be paid in the first instance out of the general revenue fund, and assessed against the property so benefited. After such installation and connection is completed by order of the council, the city shall serve a written notice of intention to make an assessment therefor. If such assessment is not paid within ten (10) days, the city shall certify the amount thereof to the county auditor in the same manner as with other special assessments; provided, that the council may by resolution provide that the assessment be spread over a term of three (3) years, upon written request by the owner of the property.
