§ 53.073 SEWER ASSESSMENT; INSTALLATION AND OWNERSHIP OF MAINS.
   (A)   Where the property with which sewer connection is sought to be made is not within the bounds of a regular sanitary sewer district, or where such property has not been assessed, or has not paid for the construction of the sewer to which connection is sought to be made, then, in such case, the city’s Sewer Division shall not accept a tap application for the sewer connection until an amount shall have been paid to the Sewer Division in an amount equivalent to the front footage charge for the number of front feet or an equivalent square footage charge for the number of square feet of the entire property with which the connection is sought to be made.
   (B)   The equivalent front footage charge or equivalent square footage charge shall be the average unit amount as assessed per front foot or per square foot on the most current sewer districts and be no less than the appropriate costs of the main connected to, and shall be determined by the Manager.
   (C)   Mains may be installed by either the Sewer Department or by private contractor under the direction of the City Engineer. After inspection and acceptance by the City Engineer, the mains within the corporate limits or zoning area and located within the boundaries of a dedicated street, alley or easement, when used for the city sewer collection system, shall be the property of the city.
