(A) Extensions. Extensions of sanitary sewers shall be in units of 1 block or more, when it is determined by the Common Council to be in the best interest of the public or necessary for public health and safety.
(B) Charges for sanitary sewer extensions. Lots shall be assessed for 100% of the footage abutting such streets or easements where sewer extensions are laid.
(C) Lots with double frontage. Where lots front on 2 streets on opposite sides and do not qualify as a corner lot, the following procedure shall be followed. The lots shall be assessed for 100% of the frontage on the first side served, and not for the frontage on the second side, unless service is utilized. Assessments become payable when service is provided.
(D) Corner lots and irregular shaped lots. The assessment shall be based on 100% of actual frontage on the side which service is connected.
(E) Length of extension.
(1) Platted lots served by the sewer extension shall be assessed for the full footage whether or not the sewer abuts the full frontage.
(2) Unplatted areas shall be assessed only for frontage abutting the sewer, unless the sewer adequately serves the full frontage.
(F) Replacement of maintenance. The City shall maintain sewer mains and replace sections where necessary without any additional assessment to the properties.
(G) Rate of assessment.
(1) The rate of assessment for sanitary sewers shall be the actual cost of the project as determined by the approving authority, but not to exceed the cost of an 8 inch sanitary sewer.
(2) The cost of the project shall be determined by measuring from the center of the intersection to the center of the next intersection and then dividing by the number of assessable feet in the project.
(3) No additional charge is made for larger mains or sewage pumping stations.
(H) Existing facilities. Property not previously assessed for existing mains, which are presently inadequate, will be assessed for new mains at 100% of the regular assessment rate. Property presently served by private lines will be assessed for new mains (the City shall determine whether existing lines classify as private lines).
