be credit be allowed for the cost of extra length of
waterline required for connection to the City's water

of charges to similar properties, the Finance Director
is authorized to reduce the special connection charge to
the amount charged to properties similarly situated.

charge has been paid is subsequently included in a local
improvement district for the construction of water mains

to connection to the City sewer and shall be in an
amount to be computed under Section 14.16.074.
