§ 28-341. Construction by city.

An owner of land abutting or adjoining a public street where no sanitary sewer has been installed may make application to the council for the installation of a sanitary sewer in that street for the purpose of serving the property in accordance with the following:

(1)

Application and deposit. A written request for the installation, and a payment equal to the cost as estimated by the city of construction from the point where the sanitary sewer is presently installed and terminates to the point where the most distant boundary of the owner's lot abuts the public street shall be submitted to the council.

(2)

Construction. Upon receipt of the payment, the city shall construct the sanitary sewer for the purpose of serving the property of the applicant, as soon as construction can reasonably be accomplished.

(3)

Additional cost. In the event the actual cost to the city of installation of the sanitary sewer is in excess of the estimated costs, the applicant agrees to reimburse the city for such actual additional cost within 30 days after the presentation of a bill for such additional cost.

(4)

Lien authorized. In the event of the failure of the applicant to reimburse the city, as specified in subsection (3) of this section, the total of the additional cost shall be certified to the county treasurer as a special assessment lien against the builder's real estate. The landowner's written request for installation of the sanitary sewer shall waive all objections to jurisdiction and rights to notice and consent to the entry of such a special assessment lien against the real estate.

(5)

Connecting property. The expense of connecting the property of the applicant to the sewer laid in the public street shall be borne by the applicant, in addition to the cost of constructing the sewer, but this connection shall be under the supervision of the city.
