That individual or company who is under contract with the
City of Linwood for installation of sewer laterals.
Any individual or individuals who own real property in the
City of Linwood and who are building in an individual capacity, as

The Superintendent will make the appropriate street opening permit application to the City on the owner's behalf.

incurred by the contractor during the installation of a sewer lateral
shall also be paid by the owner. If any conditions are present that

the City for any and all fees encumbered in accordance with the Engineer's
contract with the City. This reimbursement may at the City's discretion,
be required in advance in the form of a review escrow. The issuance
of a certificate of occupancy for said property is expressly conditioned
upon prior payment of said cost and expenses in full.
