Except as specifically provided by ordinance all construction of sewer extensions in streets and public ways not already supplied with sewage shall be in accordance with one of the following procedures:
(a) Construction by Owners. In dedicated streets or in new developments, the Director of Public Safety-Service may permit a developer or land owner to arrange for the laying of sewer extensions by private contract, provided however the performance of the work shall be done under the supervision and control of the Director of Public Safety-Service. In the construction of any sewer extension the plans shall have prior approval by the Director of Public Service-Safety and only duly authorized and approved materials shall be permitted. All contractors installing sewer extensions shall be required to furnish bond, either in cash or security, as a guarantee against defective workmanship or materials, and shall be required to pay to the City all cost and expense it incurs for inspection and supervision of the sewer extension work.
(b) Assessment in Accordance With the Ohio Revised Code. The owners of property to be served by a proposed sewer extension may petition the City for the construction of such an extension, and the assessment of the cost of the improvement shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code.
