   (B)   Sewer and water facilities shall be installed to serve each building before occupancy and street construction, and sidewalks shall be completed within one year after occupancy.
      (1)   Water. The minimum size water main shall be eight inches in diameter and all water mains, wherever practical in the judgment of the Village Council, must be looped to that water is available from two sources to any point. Fire hydrants, gate valves and appurtenances shall be installed in accordance with accepted engineering practices.
      (2)   Sewer. Adequate sanitary sewer facilities shall be provided to service the subdivision.
      (3)   Streets. Streets shall be not less than 26 feet in width and street right-of-way shall not be less than 66 feet in width with adequate storm drainage, and a six-inch gravel compacted base shall be installed by the subdivider.

If in any instance the Village Council should decide that it is necessary to install a larger water main, sewer or greater width of street, the Village Council will bear a pro-rata share of the cost of the particular improvement.
   (C)   In some cases the proposed area to be platted will not be served at its borders by water mains or adequate sewers. The Village Council may require petition for the creation of an assessment district to furnish such sewer and water or may require the developer to bear the full cost of extensions to the area to be platted. The Village Council may accept petitions for an assessment district in lieu of a certified check or performance bond for installation of improvements.
