When an applicant’s property to be served by a water or sewer connection has not been previously assessed or has not otherwise paid a proportionate share of such cost for the extension of the water or sewer main from which service is desired the applicant for a water or sewer connection shall pay, prior to connection to the water or sewer main and in addition to standard utility charges and fees elsewhere provided, such other reasonable and equitable charges as may be determined by the city council for a connection to the particular water or sewer extension, or as may be established by existing agreement between the city and the person(s) who previously paid for such water or sewer extension even though the applicant’s property was previously assessed for construction of other water and sewer mains.
