(A) (1) No sewer taps (breaking or entering into existing sewer lines of the city) shall be made by any person, firm or corporation except the city. Upon application to the city and after payment of any tapping or connection fee as required under the current tap fee ordinance, the city will tap the city sewer and run a lateral to the property line of any applicant where sewers are available. Any and all installations or attachments thereto shall be made by the applicant under the directions and supervision of the city.
(2) The private sewer line connection to the city sewer must be visually inspected by city personnel prior to backfilling.
(B) Construction costs for running a lateral to a previously unsewered site, or any upgrade to a previously sewered site, shall be borne entirely by the applicant at an actual cost basis.
(C) Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the city to furnish a sewer connection or sewer services to any premises where a city sewer is not available at the time that the application is made. Sewer connection charges shall be as reflected in the current applicable tap fee ordinance.
