(A) (1) At the time of the laying out or the subdividing or resubdividing of tracts of parcels of land within the city or at the time of the development of such parcels of land previously subdivided, the owner of the said tracts or parcels of land shall lay, at the expense of said owner in streets or along rights-of-way dedicated to public use, all water mains, sub-mains, laterals, transmission, distribution, production, transfer and storage facilities as determined by the Director as necessary to serve water to the said lands and to each and every lot and parcel thereof and the same shall thereupon become the property of the city and dedicated to the public use for the purpose of distributing water.
(2) Before the work of installing such mains, submains and laterals shall be commenced, the said owner proposing to install the same shall submit a detailed plan or plans of the work to be done, showing upon a map or maps drawn to a suitable scale, the streets or public ways within which said mains, sub-mains and laterals are to be laid. There shall also accompany said map specifications showing the size and grade of pipe and fittings to be used including valves and hydrants. Such plans must be in an approved format and scale and in conformity with this code, the standards of the city, and with all the ordinances and rules existing in the city at the time of said contemplated installation, including the current construction standards of the city and none of the actual work of said installation shall be proceeded with until the said map or maps and specifications shall have been officially approved by the Director.
(3) The city may establish fees for the checking or preparation of plans and for the inspection, administration or construction of improvements.
(B) The owner of said lands may apply to the city to have the city furnish the necessary materials and labor to install the pipe lines. Upon payment of a sufficient amount to defray expenses of such lines and the availability of city forces as determined by the Director, the Department of Public Works may proceed with the work of installing said lines, keeping all cost data for labor and materials. Any excess remaining over and above said costs, plus overhead costs as determined by the Finance Director, shall be returned to said owner. In the event that the amount deposited with the Director is insufficient to meet the cost of said materials and labor, plus overhead costs thereof, the owner shall pay the difference between such costs and the amount previously deposited.
