No connection shall be made to the municipal sewer or water system without first having obtained a permit therefore. Applications for the permit shall be made to the Superintendent of Sanitation and shall be accompanied by a statement showing the purpose of the connection, the premises to be served and the specifications of the pipe to be connected and the drain from the building to the sewer pipe. No permit shall be issued new connections outside the corporate limits unless the use of the land and building or buildings thereon are in compliance with all subdivision and zoning regulations of the city applicable hereto. In addition thereto, the buildings shall be in compliance with the provisions of the IBC Basic Building Code and the Plumbing and Electrical Codes of the city. Where a building permit issued by the city and permit fees paid at the time the buildings are constructed, there shall exist a presumption of compliance with all of subject ordinances. Permit fees will be the same as though property were all in the city. If after passage of this chapter, buildings are constructed and no building permit is applies for or issued, and subsequently a sewer or water permit is applied for, the city must cause proper inspections to be made to determine compliance with the applicable city codes. If all the applicable codes have been complied with, the city shall issue a certificate of compliance, provided that a fee shall be paid to the city, which fee will be equivalent to the fee which would have been charged for a building permit at the time the buildings were constructed. This fee shall be in addition to any other fees required by the city code.
