A "sewer connection fee" shall be required when, at the time of the application for a building permit, there is in place an existing City approved sanitary sewer service line capable of allowing satisfactory sewer service from the sewer main to the applicant's building or property, and it is only necessary for City employees to excavate only to expose the existing sewer service line, inspect such line, install a cleanout if needed, and leave the excavation open and ready for connection or hookup with an approved sanitary sewer service line, and it is not necessary for the City to perform sewer tap services as described in Subsection
(B) below.

A "sewer tap fee" shall be required when, at the time of the

must excavate to an existing sewer main, install appropriate devices
or equipment to incorporate a sewer service line into an existing
sanitary sewer main, extend the service line from the sewer main to
approximately the boundary line of the applicant's property to be
served, install a cleanout if needed, backfill, and leave the excavation
