(A) Suitable facilities. When property abuts upon any street or alley along which water and sewer mains have been constructed, the owner of any dwelling or commercial establishment on the property shall install suitable toilet facilities therein and connect them with the sanitary sewer in accordance with the provisions of this chapter within 90 days after the date of mailing or delivering official notice to do so. The notice shall be given to the owner or occupant in writing by the Clerk/Treasurer/Administrator on order of the Council.
(B) Connection by city. Whenever any owner or occupant fails to comply with the written notice, the Council shall, by resolution, direct that a toilet be installed and connection made with the water and sewer system and that the cost of the installation be paid in the first instance out of the general fund and then assessed against the property benefitted.
(C) Unpaid connection charge.
(1) After the installation and connection have been completed pursuant to Council resolution, the Clerk/Treasurer/Administrator shall serve a written notice of the unpaid connection charge upon the owner or the owner’s representative directing the owner to pay the unpaid connection charge to the Clerk/Treasurer/Administrator within ten days after the service of the notice.
(2) If the assessment is not paid within ten days, the Clerk/Treasurer/Administrator shall certify the amount to the County Auditor for collection in the same manner as property taxes and connection charges. The Council may by resolution spread the unpaid connection charge over a three-year period.
