The owner of all dwellings, buildings, other structures or properties <br /> shall connect within two (2) years of the date that municipal water <br /> service is available to the premises. Any property owner who can <br /> demonstrate that hookup to municipal water is not feasible due to <br /> distance, topography, or pending land use change shall not be required <br /> to hookup. At that specific time however, hookup may be required in <br /> the future upon changing of circumstances. <br /> <br /> d. Each applicant by such application shall agree to be bound by all <br /> provisions of this code, amendments thereto and all rules and <br /> regulations established by the City relating to the municipal water <br /> system. <br /> <br /> Subd 3.

If no assessment has been levied for such construction cost, that <br /> proceedings for levying such assessment have been or will be <br /> commenced in due course; or <br /> <br /> c. That no assessment has been levied but a connection fee equal to the <br /> portion of the cost of constructing said facility which would be <br /> assessable against said lot or tract of land has been paid to the City; or <br /> <br /> d. That since the time of the original assessment proceedings the lot or tract <br /> of land originally assessed has been further subdivided or developed at a <br /> higher density and that a sum equal to the cost of constructing such <br /> facility, in comparison with other premises, which would have been <br /> assessable against such lot or tract, has been paid to the City. <br /> <br /> Subd. 4.
