7-4-17: SEWER SYSTEM EXTENSIONS BY CITY; REIMBURSEMENT:
   (A)   The city may from time to time extend the sewer line facilities of the city for the purpose of making sewer service available to properties lying beyond existing sewer line facilities.
   (B)   Where such extensions of sewer line facilities are constructed by the city, the director shall determine the area and the specific parcels of property which will benefit from each such extension of sewer line facilities, and shall prepare a map designating the area to be benefited.
   (C)   The owner of any property determined by the director to benefit from the extension of sewer line facilities under this section shall, at the time application is made to connect to the sewer line, pay a fee to the city to reimburse the city for that property's proportionate share of the construction costs of the sewer line, including interest at the rate of three percent (3%) per year from the date the sewer line extension is completed and accepted by the city to the date the fee is paid.
   (D)   The determination of benefits may be based either on area or front foot charges, whichever is determined to be most equitable by the director, and the appropriate allocations of construction costs shall be based upon the benefits to be derived from each parcel of property. The determinations of benefit and allocation of cost by the director shall be final and conclusive.
   (E)   All charges levied pursuant to this section shall be in addition to the capital improvement charge required by section 7-4-13 of this chapter. (Ord. 1646, 5-8-2012)
