In any case in which a developer installs or causes the installation of water, sewer, electrical power, natural gas, telephone, cable television, or other types of utility facilities and intends that such facilities shall be owned, operated, or maintained by a public utility or any entity other than the developer, the developer shall transfer to such utility or entity the necessary ownership or easement rights to enable the utility or entity to operate and maintain such facilities.
(Ord. 468, 1995)
(a) 
Whenever it is legally possible and practicable in terms of topography to connect a lot with a city sewer line by running a connecting line not more than 200 feet from the lot to such line, then no use requiring sewage disposal service may be made of such lot unless connection is made to such line.
(b) 
Connection to such sewer line is not legally possible if, in order to make connection with such line by a connecting line that does not exceed 300 feet in length, it is necessary to run the connecting line over property not owned by the owner of the property to be served by the connection, and, after diligent effort, the easement necessary to run the connecting line cannot reasonably be obtained.
(c) 
For purposes of this chapter, a lot is "served" by a city-owned sewer line if connection is required by this section.
