   (B)   Hereafter, upon the installation of a sewer main, except sewer mains carrying stormwater only, in any street or alley in the city, a sewer connection shall be installed for each abutting lot or parcel of land upon which there is a building occupied and used as a residence and not served by the city sewer system, and for each other abutting lot or parcel of land, which, under the provisions of any applicable law, ordinance, or regulation, is required to be connected to the city sewer system. Notice of intent to install any such sewer connection, objection thereto, hearing thereon, and final determination thereof shall be as provided in § 96.003(B)(3) and (B)(4). Upon written request signed by the owners, as indicated by the records of the City Assessor’s office, of any other abutting lot or parcel of land, a sewer connection shall be installed for said lot or parcel of land, provided such request is delivered to the City Engineer prior to the beginning of construction of the sewer main. The cost of any sewer connection installed as herein authorized shall be charged against the lot or parcel of land served and the owner of such lot or parcel of land, shall be a lien thereon and shall be collected as provided in § 33.21.
