(a) Whenever the paving or repairing of any street or public highway has been ordered by Council, the Department of Public Works shall, as it deems necessary, serve the owners of property abutting upon the street or highway, a notice directing such owners to extend the sanitary sewer lateral and water connections to the property line or as it may designate within a time specified therein to be available for future use.
(b) At the expiration of the time specified, if connections are not made as herein provided, the Director shall cause these to be made and the cost thereof shall temporarily be paid by the City. This cost, together with a penalty as determined by Council, shall be assessed by Council on the property abutting on the street or highway to be paved, to be paid in cash to the Finance Director. If not so paid, the Clerk of Council shall certify such assessments to the County Auditor to be collected as other taxes are collected. Council may waive the provisions of this section and Section 913.07 if the property owner is willing to sign an agreement that he or she will not be permitted to connect to the sanitary sewer for a period of time as prescribed by Chapter 901.
