No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the City. The application for the permit shall set forth the location and description of the property to be connected with the sewer system and the purpose for which the sewer is to be used, and shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent. The permit shall require the owner to complete construction and connection of the building sewer to the public sewer within sixty (60) days after the issuance of the permit, except that when a property owner makes sufficient showing that due to conditions beyond the owner’s control or peculiar hardship, such time period is inequitable or unfair, an extension of time within which to comply with the provisions herein may be granted. Any sewer connection permit may be revoked at any time for a violation of these chapters.
The following charges shall be paid to the City prior to the installation of a new sanitary sewer service or the issuance of any sanitary sewer connection permit from the premises to which the charges apply. Each premise applying for a new sanitary sewer service, as distinguished from a change in location or reconnection of equivalent size, shall pay the connection charge, based on the sanitary sewer service pipe size, as follows:
SERVICE SIZE | FEE |
4" | $500.00 |
6" | $2,000.00 |
8" | $4,000.00 |
In addition to the connection charge, any "out of pocket" expenses incurred by the City in making sewer service available to the property served, including but not limited to costs for flow measuring devices, shall be reimbursed to the City. Any labor expenses incurred by the City involved with the connection process will be charged back to the applicant at the applicable labor rates and be reimbursed back to the City.
(Code of Iowa, Sec. 384.84)
