The assessment shall be applied to both sides of an affected street.

Contributions in lieu of fees. In lieu of the line connection fees, an applicant for service may make contributions in aid of construction equivalent to the cost of providing water and wastewater lines to reach the applicant's property. The size of such lines shall be established by the village water and wastewater master plan and the village manager.
