(A) Availability. Any person who has a wastewater main line within three hundred (300) feet of the person's property is required to make application to the City for wastewater service. Wastewater service will be approved provided that the service does not require the extension of any main line and that no portion of the wastewater service line passes through lands, buildings, or parts of buildings for which there is no dedicated utility easement. Extended service connections to properties not located within three hundred (300) feet of an existing wastewater main line may be permitted at the option of the City.
(B) Service connection procedure. All sewer service lines shall be installed by the consumer to the City's main collection line. The City will inspect all subsurface installation work from the point of connection to the City’s main line to the building and charge the consumer for the inspection as provided in the City's fee and rate ordinance.
(C) Extended service connections. In cases where main lines have not been installed within three hundred (300) feet of the subject property, a potential consumer may be eligible for an extended service connection by signing an extended service connection agreement and agreeing to the following terms and conditions:
(1) Location and charges. A standard connection shall be installed by the consumer at a point on the sewer main designated by the City. The customer shall pay standard connection charges as provided in the fee and rate ordinance.
(2) Expense. The service line shall be extended by the consumer at the consumer’s own expense.
(3) Maintenance. Ownership and responsibilities will be according to the extended service agreement as approved by the Director.
(4) Future connection. At such time as mains are extended or installed to a point within three hundred (300) feet of the property being served by an extended service connection, the property owner must connect to the extended main and pay the time and materials costs and charges for continuation of service.
(D) Right to modify. The City has a right to modify, subtract, or add to the service conditions and requirements as deemed appropriate to prevent pollution, to prevent undue health hazards, and to protect the wastewater collection and treatment system.
