(a) Submit a preliminary plan to the Planning Commission showing existing and proposed streets and lots and locations of pavements, water mains and sewers.
Where a new subdivision or undeveloped land is involved, all the requirements of Chapters 1109, 1111 and 1113 shall be complied with. The Planning Commission shall not approve any service extensions unless it finds that there are adequate plans for the development of the
area, whether the land has previously been subdivided, divided or developed, or a new land subdivision is involved. The preliminary plan and the development plans for the services shall be prepared in compliance with Chapter 1113, and the development plans shall be approved by the Planning Commission before the work on installations may proceed. Modifications required by the Planning Commission shall be binding upon the owners and developers as well as other persons outside the City requesting the services.
(b) Water main extensions shall be made by a contract between the City and persons outside the City requesting the extension, whereby such persons shall provide for the materials, cutting the ditch, installing the main and backfilling and restoring the street, and the City shall have the right, title and interest in the main and shall provide for the necessary steps to obtain same, together with the right to collect meter usage fees and to provide water service at rates substantially greater than the rates charged users inside the City.
(c) Sanitary sewer extensions shall be made by a contract between the City and persons outside the City, whereby such persons shall construct and install the sewers, and the City shall have or obtain all right, title and interest in the sewer, together with the right to collect a usage fee and to maintain the sewer at the expense of the property owner.
(d) Storm sewers shall be made by a contract between the City and persons requesting the sewer, whereby such persons shall construct and install the sewer, and all right, title and interest in the sewer (if it is to be connected with the storm sewers of the City) shall be vested in the City.
(f) Water meter usage fees of three dollars ($3.00) per year shall be charged for each building served.
(g) Sanitary sewers shall not be extended or connected to any property unless the person tapping upon same already has water service.
(h) Sanitary sewer usage fees (for both sanitary and combined sanitary and storm sewers) shall be charged against each owner or user tapping upon such sewer at the rate of thirty percent (30%) of his water bill or six dollars ($6.00) per residence, whichever is the greater.
(i) Upon failure or refusal of any owner or user to pay any of the above fees, the Department of Public Utilities shall, in the name of the City, have a lien upon all property served with water main and sewer extensions for the amount of such fee, with the power to shut off water service and to prosecute further any owners or users delinquent in their payments as required above, with all legal expenses to be borne by the owners.
(j) Further extensions and taps may be permitted by the City after the above installations are made, provided that the owner who requests such new tap shall pay to the City his pro rata share of the original cost of the construction and installation, such pro rata charge to be refunded to the owners of the property that was originally served by such extension.
(k) All surcharges, tapping fees and usage fees shall be deposited in appropriate capital improvement funds.
(l) All future extensions outside the City shall be made by a contract between the City and the persons requesting such extensions.
