(2) For the discharge of intercepted groundwaters or stormwaters from roofs, yards, building drains, window well drains, patio drains, truck docks or parking lots into designated storm sewers.

(b) A sewer connection permit shall be issued upon payment of the following applicable fee:

(1) For the discharge of domestic wastes into designated sanitary sewers, a sewer connection permit shall not be granted until the applicant has paid the proper fee established in accordance with the following schedule of fees and classification of property:

a. For property which has previously paid a special assessment, the permit fee shall be one hundred twenty dollars ($120.00).

b. For property which has previously constructed at private expense a sewer accepted and used by the city as a public sewer, the permit fee shall be one hundred twenty dollars ($120.00).

c. For property which has, previous to the adoption of this chapter, made a connection to any existing city sewer, the permit fee shall be one hundred twenty dollars ($120.00).

d. For each property which has not borne the expense of the construction of sewer mains, a permit shall not be granted until a permit fee, the sum of which is equal to one-half ( 1/2) of the per-foot cost of a ten-inch sewer indexed to the year of connection using The Engineering News Record, "The Construction Cost Index," and calculated by the city engineer on a front foot basis, is paid. An additional charge shall be made for a six-inch connection line from the sewer main to the property line of the property to be served, if the sewer has or will be constructed by the city. Said additional charges shall be the city's actual construction or contract costs. The property owner may choose to pay this fee in five (5) installments, the first installment being due at the time of connection, and the deferred installments being due annually thereafter, with interest accumulating at the rate of the most recent rate established by the city council for annual payments of special assessments. In such event, this charge shall constitute a lien on the premises subject thereto, and that amount shall also be a debt to the person to whom assessed until paid.

Annually, the city engineer shall notify the director of fiscal services of any such charges due. The director of fiscal services shall forward a statement of the total charges assessed on each parcel of property to the owner, as shown by the last current assessment or tax roll, and said assessment shall be payable to the city treasurer within thirty (30) days from the date said statement was forwarded. If not paid within the prescribed thirty-day period, such statement shall be filed by the director of fiscal services with the city assessor and shall thereupon be assessed against the land in question and become a lien on such property, in accordance with the City of Midland charter. The amount so charged may be discharged at any time by the payment of the amount specified in the statement, together with the accrued interest compiled from the time of filing said statement with the city assessor.

(2) For the discharge of intercepted groundwaters or stormwaters into designated storm sewers, a storm sewer connection permit shall not be granted until the applicant has paid the proposed fee established in accordance with the following schedule of fees and classification of property:

a. For property for which the connection of a downspout, weep tile, footing drain, sump pump discharge or any other conduit that carries the discharge of stormwater or intercepted groundwater to a designated storm sewer was completed after October 26, 1987, the permit fee shall be one hundred twenty dollars ($120.00).

b. For property with downspout, weep tile, footing drain, sump pump discharge or any other conduit that carries the discharge of stormwater or intercepted groundwater connected to a sanitary sewer prior to October 27, 1987, and for which the connection was eliminated and a subsequent connection to a designated storm sewer is requested, a permit fee shall not be levied.

(3) The combined permit fee for each property for which a sanitary sewer connection permit and a storm water connection permit is obtained at the same time and for which the inspection of both connections are to be completed at the same time shall be one hundred sixty-five dollars ($165.00).
