3/4" copper water service lines from the City's main to the curb box

also charges $5.50 per lineal foot for the installation of either
replacement of 4" diameter laterals from the City's sewer main or to
serve existing buildings or new homes.
These unit rate charges were established in 1968. Sample audits of

line or sewer line installation costs.
