No sewer or other facility constructed under the provisions of this chapter may be placed in use until the work has been approved by the City and for public sewers has been accepted for maintenance by the City Council. The City may grant exceptions to this requirement only when the work is substantially complete and has been inspected, and if the City determines that the best interests of the public are served by permitting such use prior to completion of the work. Such approval, prior to completion, shall make the properties being served by the sewer subject to the sewer collection service charge required by Chapter 13.05 PMC. The charge will be placed on the next available tax rolls for the subject properties.
