(a) No person shall connect to the public storm sewer system without first obtaining a permit and paying the fee therefor in accordance with Chapter 901.
(b) Wherever public sewers have been constructed within the Municipality and the cost thereof has been wholly or partly paid out of the funds of the City, or financed through the issuance of bonds, and the owners of any property abutting upon or benefiting from such storm sewers make application to tap such storm sewer, no permit shall be issued to make such connection or connections, nor shall such property owner make such connection or connections, unless he shall have first paid into the City treasury or given security for such payment, satisfactory to the fiscal officer of the City, that portion of the cost of such storm sewer which the property was formerly charged in the form of an assessment, but which assessment the City has been unable to collect due to defects in procedure; the failure to obtain an assessment lien; the setting aside of the assessment lien by any court; or the failure to collect such assessment for any reason. Where a portion of the cost of the sewer to which connections are desired to be made has been assessed against such property and a valid assessment lien continues to be imposed thereon for such cost, or where in the case of an invalid assessment, a valid reassessment for such cost has been levied, such permit shall be issued provided the tap-in connection conforms with other regulations of the City.
(c) No permit to construct any improvements upon the property which is subject to subsection (b) hereof shall be issued until such time as the property owner makes the necessary deposit into the City treasury or gives security for such payment satisfactory to the fiscal officer of the City.
(d) Permit and inspection fees for a storm sewer connection, storm sewer and appurtenances shall be as follows:
(1) Each storm sewer connection | $30.00 |
(2) Each 100 lineal feet or fraction thereof storm sewer pipe | 25.00 |
(3) Each catch basin, manhole, yard drain, drive drain, head wall, end wall, junction chamber or similar structure | 10.00 |
