(a) The cost of the extension of any water main on any duly dedicated and accepted street in the City shall be borne on the basis of sixty percent (60%) of the cost paid by the owners of the land bounding and abutting on the extension and forty percent (40%) paid by the City. Such percentages apply up to and including six inch mains and, if the City deems it necessary to have a larger size main, the additional cost of the main shall be borne by the City. The size of the main shall be determined by the City Engineer.
(b) The cost of the extension of any gas main on any duly dedicated and accepted street in the City shall be borne on the basis of sixty percent (60%) of the cost paid by the owners of the land bounding and abutting on the extension and forty percent (40%) paid by the City. The percentages apply up to and including six inch mains and, if the City deems it necessary to have a larger size main, the additional cost of the main shall be borne by the City. The size of the main shall be determined by the City Engineer.
(c) The owners of the foot frontage shall pay for all lead-ins from the main to the property line at their sole expense on all of the above extensions of water, gas or sanitary sewer.
(d) The total cost of all local service sewers and laterals shall be assessed to the property owners when installed after being petitioned by seventy-five percent (75%) of the property owners or eighty percent (80%) of the frontage benefitted by the sewer. The City shall bear the cost of providing a suitable outlet for the proposed extension within the right-of-way limits of the street containing the outlet sewer in all cases. Trunk sewers shall be installed at the expense of the City.
(e) On any dedicated right of way where the exception in 927.01(a)(2) applies, the petitioners shall bear sixty percent (60%) of the cost of the sewer and the City forty percent (40%) of the cost for the frontage which cannot be assessed if so approved by Council.
(f) On any dedicated right of way where it is considered necessary for the health, progress and welfare of the City by the Superintendent of Public Works and Council to install a sanitary sewer, Council may order the construction of a local service sewer and assess the total cost of the sewer to all the owners of all the lots benefitted by an improvement without the percentage of signatures of owners as specified by the rule of petition in Section 927.01. If this method is not considered economically feasible and fifty percent (50%) of the property owners on the improvement have signed a petition, Council may order the construction on a basis of sixty percent (60%) of the total cost of the sewer main assessed to the petitioners and forty percent (40%) to the City. In this case, a record of parcels not assessed shall be given to the Public Works office and any future permit applications shall cost the applicant three times the current permit or tapping charge.
