(b) At the time of filing the application for the approval of any plant, or at the time plans and specifications for any improvement or improvements are submitted to the Planning Commission and Engineer for approval, there shall be deposited with the Treasurer an amount of money sufficient in the opinion of the Engineer to cover the cost and expense of such investigation as may be necessary to determine whether such proposed allotment conforms to this Ordinance or its improvements have been made or are being installed in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance and the plans and specifications approved by the Engineer. The cost and expense of such investigation made by the Engineer or his assistants shall be paid from such deposit upon itemized bills rendered by such Engineer.
