The provisions of this article shall apply to additions to and extensions of the sewer system, which extensions or additions are built at the direct expense of property owners, subdividers or other persons or groups of persons. Other provisions of this chapter that are not in conflict with the provisions of this article shall also apply. This article shall not apply to portions of the sewer system constructed by the city and paid for out of the sewer fund, except that nothing in this article shall prohibit the city from participating in the construction of an extension of the sewer system when the extension is of more than local benefit.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

(a) As used in this article, the word "addition" shall mean a system of sewer mains, house connection sewers and appurtenances built by property owners at their expense to serve their land, and which does not serve any other land adjoining the work by direct connection thereto.

(b) As used in this article, the word "extension" shall mean a system of sewer mains, house connection sewers and appurtenances built by property owners at their expense to serve their land, and which may also serve other adjoining land, the owners of which have not shared in the cost of the work.

(c) A single sewer project may include additions and extensions. The term "property owner," as used in this article, shall include a single person, a group of persons, or a corporation, firm or other combination of persons.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

(a) Following the satisfactory completion of any sewer project for the construction of an addition or extension, and upon the recommendation of the public works director, the city council shall, by resolution, accept the work, which shall then become a part of the city's sewer system. The resolution of acceptance shall contain the terms of any special consideration which shall apply to the sewers so accepted.

(b) Special consideration may include provisions for reimbursement and relief from the connection fee, but shall not include provisions for monthly charges different from those established elsewhere in this chapter, except as provided for service to property lying outside the corporate limits of the city. All provisions for special consideration shall terminate at the expiration of ten years following the date of the resolution of acceptance, or at such an earlier date as may be established in the resolution of acceptance.
