3. • Section 24-1. Sewer connections - Generally. (e) In new subdivisions or any portion thereof, the city manager may, if the city manager deems it to be in the best interest of the city, install sewer connections at the same time the sewer main or mains are installed in the new streets and prior to the time that the streets are paved; provided: (1) The subdivider so requests, (2) the subdivider gives assurance in writing that the lots will be built upon within a reasonable time, and (3) the subdivider designates on a plat the desired location of such connections. The charge for sewer connections installed under this subsection shall be two hundred seventy-five dollars. Section 24-2. Monthly service charges. Any person having a connection, directly or indirectly to the city sewer system shall pay therefor a monthly charge based upon water consumption as follows: (a) For the first three hundred cubic feet of water metered • or any fractional part thereof, the sewer charge shall be two dollars. (b) For all water metered in excess of three hundred cubic feet, the sewer charge shall be six seven dollars and twenty seventy- one cents for each one thousand cubic feet or fractional part thereof. (c) Any water customer not discharging the entire volume of water used into the city's sanitary sewer system shall be allowed a reduction in the charges imposed hereunder; provided, that such person shall install, at his or her expense, a meter to record either the water which will, or will not, ultimately reach the city sewers. For customers with monthly water consumption in excess of thirty thousand cubic feet, where the director of finance considers the installation of a separate meter to be impracticable, he or she may establish a formula which will be calculated to require such person to pay the sewer charge only on that part of the water used by such person which ultimately reaches the city sewers. Section 29-1. Application for service; making connections and installing meters; temporary connections; charge for turning on water. • (a) Whenever any person owning or leasing property for which water service has been installed desires the initiation of water delivery, he or she shall make written application to the director of finance on forms prescribed by the director of finance. There shall be a service charge of ten dollars for turning on water service, either initially or after it has been discontinued.
