(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, install, place or attempt to construct, install or place any public sanitary sewer system extension or related subsurface structure or facility within any public street, avenue, alley, or other public way, without first having entered into a sanitary sewer extension agreement with the utility enterprise. The agreement shall provide for the dedication of all sanitary sewer system improvements so constructed or installed to the utility enterprise upon such terms and conditions as the general manager may determine.

(b) Application for a sanitary sewer extension agreement shall be made to Aurora Water on forms provided by the general manager. The applicant shall provide all necessary technical information and data regarding the proposed sanitary sewer system improvements as may be required by the general manager.

(c) Following execution of the extension agreement and prior to commencing construction or installation of any system improvements within the right-of-way, each applicant shall procure a public improvement permit from the city. Application for such permit shall be made to the public works department on forms provided by the director of public works.

(d) At the time of filing the permit application, each applicant shall pay all applicable permit fees. Such fees shall be promulgated by either the general manager or the director of public works in accordance with the provisions of section 2-587. The proceeds of such fee shall be used to defray the costs associated with the inspection and acceptance of public structures and facilities. In addition to such fee, any person requesting inspection of a public infrastructure at any time other than normal city business hours shall reimburse the city for all reasonable costs expended in making such inspection.
