(a) Wherever public sanitary sewers, storm sewers or water lines have been constructed and the cost thereof has been wholly or partly paid out of the funds of the City or the cost thereof has been partially or wholly assessed against the property and the owner of any abutting property applies for a permit to tap into any such sewer or water line, no permit shall be issued to the abutting owner if for any reason an assessment has not been levied against the property for which the tap is sought, unless such person shall first pay into the City Treasury a sum equal to the following formula:
(1) Sanitary sewer: nine dollars ($9.00) per front foot, plus three hundred dollars ($300.00) per connection;
(2) Storm sewer: ten dollars ($10.00) per front foot;
(3) Water line: seven dollars ($7.00) per front foot.
(b) The above provisions shall apply only in instances where the property abuts on an improved street in which the above mentioned improvements have been constructed.
(c) In the event an owner of property applies for a permit to tap into a storm sewer, sanitary sewer or water line where such improvement(s) does not abut on the property, the fee to tap into such improvement(s) shall be determined by Council and shall be based upon the facts in each individual application.
(d) If no taps are available on a property, the City shall install a tap(s), and the owner of the property shall be required to pay the City of Wickliffe a six thousand dollar ($6,000) fee for the tap(s) installation.
