the charge as set forth in this chapter by the front footage of the premises to be
connected. The front footage of the premises, whether it be an interior or corner lot,
shall be computed on the basis of the length of the front lot line; provided, that the
minimum charge for any premises shall be based on a sixty-foot frontage. Flag lots,
whether by easement or deeded access, shall be computed on the basis of the length of
the narrow side of the lot, irrespective of the portion used for access, except that a
minimum charge based on a sixty-foot frontage shall be assessed.

A line tap charge shall be assessed an applicant whenever the city makes a
connection for the applicant to a public sewer.

Line tap charges set forth in this chapter are based on the size of the sewer to be
tapped and the size of the branch desired by the applicant. The applicant shall be
required to make a hot tap to the sewer line at the applicant's expense for lines ten inches
in diameter and larger. The city shall be notified in advance in order to inspect the tap.
A line tap charge shall not be assessed for taps made by the applicant.
