in effect14.04.110 - Connection required—Service area.
(A) The City Council has caused a survey to be made of sanitary conditions within the City, including the geological aspects in relation to industrial, business and residential establishments as the same affect the health and welfare of the inhabitants and has determined and does hereby determine that it is necessary for the protection of the public health that owners of improved property be and they are hereby required to connect their industrial, business and residential establishments to the municipal sewage disposal system, provided only that such establishments are capable of being served by and through such system at the established rates, and it shall be unlawful for any such owner to fail or refuse to connect his establishment to the municipal sewage disposal system.
(B) The City Council recognizes that there are persons owning property located outside of the City's municipal sewage disposal system service area that desire to connect properties to the system because no service is provided by the local government entity with jurisdiction over that property. In such cases, the City may permit extra-territorial property to connect to the City's municipal sewage disposal system if:
(1) The City determines there is sufficient capacity in the system to serve the property;
(2) The property owner provides the infrastructure necessary for the system to service the property;
(3) The property owner requests the local government entity with jurisdiction over the property to initiate an interlocal agreement allowing the City to provide sewer service outside the City's service area; and
(4) The property owner or occupant pays:
(a) The sewer connection fees and user charges that have been established by ordinance or resolution for service to extra-territorial properties, if such fees and charges have been established; or
(b) Otherwise, the sewer connection fees and user charges that have been established by ordinance or resolution for service to properties within the service area for the City's municipal sewage disposal system.
(C) For purposes of this Chapter, the service area for the municipal sewage disposal system is designated as any and all real property located within the corporate boundaries of the City as those boundaries may be amended from time to time. Real property located outside of the corporate boundaries of the City is deemed extra-territorial for purposes of this Section and is explicitly not a part of the City's municipal sewage disposal system service area. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the City shall continue to serve extra-territorial properties that are already connected to the City's municipal sewage disposal system.
