(a) Council shall cause written notice to be given to the owner of each lot or parcel of land where connections to the waterworks system are to be made. Such notice shall state the number and the character of connections required.
(b) The notice under this section shall be served by the Fiscal Officer, or a person designated by the Fiscal Officer, upon the owners of the lots or parcels of land where such connections are to be made in the same manner as service of summons in civil cases or by certified mail addressed to such owner at his last known address or to the address to which tax bills are sent or by a combination of the foregoing methods. If it appears by the return of the service or the return of the certified mail notice that one or more of such owners cannot be found, such owners shall be served by publication of the notice once in a newspaper of general circulation within the Municipality. The return of the person serving the notice or a certified copy thereof, or a returned receipt for notice forwarded by certified mail accepted by the addressee or anyone purporting to act for him shall be prima-facie evidence of the service of notice under this section.
