12.15.010 Refunds of costs.

(A) If a person pays all or any part of the cost of extending a sewer line to serve his property, and the extension is across from or adjacent to property other than his own, so that service is available to such property without further extension of the line, the owner or owners of such other property may be required to pay to the person who paid for the extension a pro rata share of the cost of the extension. The right to require the refund shall expire 10 years after the date of installation of the service. The amount to be refunded in each case shall be determined by the city, and the determination shall be final.

(B) If the property owner who pays the original cost of extending the sewer service wishes the city to require that other property owners pay their pro rata shares, he must, within 30 days of the completion of the improvement, file a request with the manager, together with a verified and sworn statement of the costs of making the sewer extension, including copies of vouchers, statements, or any other form of documentation of the costs required by the manager.
