Wherever public sewers, water mains or laterals have been constructed, and the cost thereof has been wholly or partly paid out of the funds of the City, no permit to tap such sewer, water main or lateral shall be issued to any abutting or benefitted property owner or occupant unless the assessments levied against the property for the cost of such improvement have been paid. If, for any reason, such assessments have not been paid, have been released, or have not been levied, no permit shall be granted unless such person first pays into the City Treasury, for the purpose of repaying the City the amount paid out or to be paid out by the City on account of such improvements, a sum equal to an amount per front foot. Such sum shall be determined by taking the total cost of constructing the main and lateral sewers, drains, water main or lateral into which such person desires to tap, and dividing the gross amount by the number of front feet abutting upon such improvement.
