All property owners owning or controlling property facing upon
any street or avenue of the City shall lay or cause to be laid all
necessary sewer and water pipe connections with the mains before any
street or avenue is paved, and every separate lot shall be so connected
with sewer and water mains.
(Prior code § 22.3)
Whenever the City Council adopts a resolution ordering any street
in the City to be paved, it shall be the duty of the superintendent
of streets to notify all persons having rights, privileges or franchises
to lay water mains, that they must commence to lay such mains immediately.
Upon receipt of such notice, such persons shall immediately commence
to lay their mains, together with laterals to property lines, and
prosecute the same with all reasonable speed.
(Prior code § 22.4)
It shall be the duty of the superintendent of streets to give
written notice to the property owner, or his agent, if known, or to
the occupant of the property, if there be any, or if the owner or
his agent is not known, and there is no occupant, to post such notice
conspicuously on the property, that sewer or water pipe connection
shall be made. Such notice shall briefly describe the work required,
referring to this chapter and shall contain a notification to the
effect that unless such work is done within 10 days, the superintendent
of streets will do the same, and the costs and expenses of such work
will be charged upon and made a lien against the property. If such
work is not done within 10 days after the service or posting of such
notice, it shall be the duty of the superintendent of streets to forthwith
proceed to do the same.

(Prior code § 22.7)
As soon as the work is completed, when done by the superintendent of streets pursuant to Section
13-08.040, the superintendent of streets shall render a statement of the costs thereof and deliver the same to the City Assessor, who shall note the amount thereof upon the margin of the assessment roll against the property so charged, and thereafter such amount shall be a lien against the property and shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as the City taxes.
(Prior code § 22.8)
Any owner or person who desires to build upon any property affected by the lien provided for in Section
13-08.060 shall first pay the lien before he will be allowed to make any house connection with sewer or water pipes so laid. Every property owner who fails to make any such street connection when so notified by the superintendent of streets shall pay, in addition to the lien for the costs and expenses of making such street connection, before he will be permitted to make any house connection with the sewer or water pipes so laid.
