(a) When paving or resurfacing of a street has been ordered or declared necessary by Council, such sewer and water connections as are necessary shall be installed in advance of such paving or resurfacing. The cost thereof shall be charged against the premises adjacent thereto, or to be served thereby, and against the owner of such premises. Where such paving or resurfacing is financed in whole or in part by special assessment, the cost of such sewer and water connections may be made chargeable against the premises served or adjacent thereto, as part of the special assessment for such paving or resurfacing. Where such paving or resurfacing is financed otherwise than by special assessment, the cost of the sewer and water connections so installed shall be a lien on the premises adjacent thereto, or to be served thereby, and shall be collected as provided for assessments on single lots pursuant to the City Charter.
(1974 Code Sec. 4.11)
(b) The necessity for such sewer and water connections shall be determined by the City Engineer. Such determination shall be based upon the size, shape and area of each abutting lot or parcel of land, the lawful use of such land under the Zoning Code and the character of the locality and the probable future development of each abutting lot or parcel of land. The City Engineer shall give written notice of the intention to install such sewer and water connections and to charge the cost of the same to the premises, to each owner of land abutting the street to be furnished with such connections, as shown by the records of the City Assessor, in accordance with Section 202.04. Any owner objecting to the installation of any such sewer or water connection shall file his or her objections, in writing, within seven days after service of such notice, with the City Engineer. The City Engineer shall, after considering each such objection, make a final determination of the sewer and water connections to be installed.
