Petitions for public improvements are used for water, sewer, roadway, sidewalk, driveway, drainage, and alley improvement requests by parcel owners. Parcel owners, by this formal request agree to pay for portions or all of the improvements. Payment may be required prior to bidding or by special assessments or a combination. This is different than permits where parcel owners will have private quote from a contractor to connect to sewer and water or to construct sidewalks and driveways.
