(a) Upon application being made for a permit to tap any feeder water main or any lateral water main built or acquired by the City within the corporation limits for the use of any property abutting thereon, or in the vicinity thereof, not already supplied, and provided that such property has not been especially assessed for the cost of the construction of such feeder water mains, before issuing the permit for tapping there shall be exacted by the Director of Public Service the sum of twenty-two dollars ($22.00) per front foot of the property to be served if located within the City in addition to the permit fees as specified in Section 949.02.
(b) Lots or parcels of ground having the same width at the front and rear and the same depth on each side shall be charged the fee provided in subsection (a) hereof on the basis of the actual frontage. However, if a lot or parcel of ground abuts on a street or other public way and the owner elects to construct a building fronting on the street or public way abutting such depth, the fee shall be exacted for such depth.
(c) Lots or parcels of ground which are of irregular shape shall be charged the fee provided in subsection (a) hereof on the basis of the width of such property, as measured on a line forty feet from the front lot line and parallel to the centerline of the street upon which such property is to face, except that for lots or parcels of ground having curved frontage, the widths to be charged for shall be measured on a line parallel to and forty feet distant from a line tangent to such curved frontage at a point midway between the sides of the lots or parcels of ground.
(d) The number of feet to be charged the fee which is required by subsection (a) hereof shall be determined by the use of an engineer's scale applied to the record drawings for the water mains sought to be tapped, on file in the office of the City Engineer, and the widths so determined by the Service Director issuing the permit shall be final.
