The governing body of a municipality, when it shall deem it necessary, by resolution, may
require the owners of all property abutting on any street, avenue, or alley to construct or cause
to be constructed, at the expense of and as a charge against the property fronting on such
street, avenue, or alley, the connections from any sewer, water main, gas main, steam or other
pipe, wire cable, conduit, or other service connection pipe or wire under the surface of such
street, avenue, or alley to a point inside of the curb line on either or both sides of such street,
avenue, or alley at such intervals along the whole length thereof as may be necessary to supply
and serve each lot, part of lot, or parcel of land in accordance with the municipal ordinance
