business unit, or combination of dwelling and business units, a
system participation fee of $900.00 shall be assessed for each such
unit for each water connection and $900.00 for each such unit for
each sewer connection.
Water/Sewer hook-up permits may be obtained only when an approved
building permit is on file with the City Engineer or if the Water/
Sewer hook-up is to service an existing residential or commercial
facility located on the property. All excavating, pipe laying,
backfilling and replacement of roadway or sidewalks will be done
by City personnel or, except for the actual connection to the City
water or sewer system, by licensed plumbers or contractors upon
permits issued by the City Engineer. In the event any such work
is accomplished by other than City personnel, such work must be
inspected and approved by the City before backfilling the
trench. The inspection fee therefore shall be $32.00 per
connection or in the event of multi-family residential units,
$32.00 per residential unit or in the event of commercial units,
$ 32.00 per commercial unit.
In those instances where, in the judgement of the City Engineer,

property owner.

Consumer Price Index for November of the preceding year as reported
