(A) In addition to the payment of a connection fee, any person requesting service to a lot that is not adjacent to the system shall be responsible for installation of a sewer extension in dedicated streets, alleys or easements accepted by the city. Sewers shall be installed in sewer easements only when it is not in the public interest for the city to accept dedication of a street or alley in the particular location. The required sewer extension shall include all facilities necessary to serve the property as well as all abutting sewers indicated by the sewer master plan. All construction shall conform to city standards and detailed plans approved by the city manager. The city manager shall determine the size sewer required for the area for which application for service is made. A sewer shall not have an inside diameter of less than eight inches. In the case of sewer trunk mains in the sewer master plan, an appropriate credit against collection fees and cash reimbursement may be allowed in an amount to be determined by the city manager.
(B) If sewer facilities that the person would otherwise be required to provide have previously been installed, the person shall be required to pay to the city a sewer charge consisting of a pro rata share of such facilities as determined by the city manager. If such previous installation was made by the applicant or his/her predecessor in interest in the property to which service is desired, the applicant may be entitled to credit in an amount to be determined by the city manager for such installation. Previous installations eligible for these credits must have been made less than 20 years before the application. Credit for previous installations will be applied against sewer charges, but in no event shall such credits be greater than the amount paid for actual construction of the extension.
(C) When installed, connected and finally inspected, all sewer extensions shall be deemed automatically offered for dedication to the city and upon acceptance shall become the property of the city. All necessary easements shall be granted to the city.
