No person shall make or attempt to make a connection, with any

[Ord. 94-1994 § 1, passed 12-28-1994]
Whenever any street is about to be paved, it shall be the duty
of the various utilities and City corporate authorities to tap in
all connections from its mains, and extend such connections to beyond
the curb. Each and every owner of real estate, whether developed or
undeveloped, owning property fronting on a street about to be paved,
in which there is a sanitary or combination sewer, shall cause house
connections to be made with such sewer or shall extend a connection
from the sewer to beyond the curb.
[Ord. 94-1994 § 1, passed 12-28-1994]
(a)
Whenever the City is contemplating the paving of any street in which there is a sanitary, storm or combination sewer, or other utility(s), the City Engineer may require all parties to put in all house connections with such sewers, or other utility(s), and extend the same to beyond the curb lines as provided for in Section 935.04.
(b)
If any party shall neglect or refuse to do so for five days'
after written notice from the City Engineer to make such connections,
it shall be the duty of the City Engineer to immediately enter into
a contract for the construction of such connections. The cost thereof
plus 10% shall be assessed upon the lot or parcels of land for the
accommodation of which such connections may be constructed.
[Ord. 94-1994 § 1, passed 12-28-1994]
The City Engineer shall give 30 days' notice to all utilities
and City corporate authorities to change the grade of any street or
sidewalk so that the utilities and authorities may lower their lines.
If such lines need not be lowered, the utilities or authorities shall
notify the City Engineer of such fact within one week after receipt
of the notice and the work may proceed immediately.
[Ord. 94-1994 § 1, passed 12-28-1994]
Whenever a utility or City corporate authority desires to lay
a service line in any such street, it shall be the duty of the City
Engineer, on application of the utility or authority, to give, within
one week after such application, the established grade of any such
street along or across which it is proposed to lay the line.
[Ord. 94-1994 § 1, passed 12-28-1994]
(a)
It shall be the duty of the permittee to restore any excavated or damaged streets to the satisfaction of the City Engineer as in accordance with Section 901.10.
(b)
If any party shall neglect or refuse to do so for five days'
after written notice from the City Engineer to make such restoration(s),
it shall be the duty of the City Engineer to immediately enter into
a contract for the construction of such connections. The cost thereof
plus 10% shall be assessed upon the lot or parcels of land for the
accommodation of which such connections may be constructed.
[Ord. 94-1994 § 1, passed 12-28-1994]
Whoever violates any of the provisions of this article, upon
conviction, shall be fined a minimum of $300 but not more than $1,000
or imprisoned not more than 90 days, or both. Each failure to obtain
a permit or to comply with any of the requirements of this article,
