Whenever public improvements have been constructed by the City of Kenai in any of the public streets, alleys, or other places of the City and whenever assessments or charges of any portion of the cost of such improvements have been made upon the properties specifically benefited by such improvements, no permit shall be issued by any City official or employee for any private connection to the public improvement from any property so assessed and benefited unless the amount of the assessment or the charges placed against said parcel of property have been paid, or if the assessment or charges are due in installments, unless all payments due at the time of application is made for the permit have been paid. This provision shall apply to all cases in which assessments have been levied, whether void or otherwise, and which are uncollected or on which installments are due and unpaid, and all cases where charges have been made and have not been paid. Nor shall a permit for any connection to the public improvement be issued by any City officer or employee for parcels of property owned by the United States or the State of Alaska without having said governments pay an equal amount to the assessment otherwise levied.
