(b) The Commission:
(1) shall allow a property owner to connect to a nonabutting water main or sewer;
(2) shall classify the property and impose a front foot benefit charge to be paid by the property owner at the rate and for the same number of years as though the property abutted on a water main or sewer constructed in the year in which the connection is made;
(3) when the connection is made, shall place the property owner in the same position as to all charges, rates, and benefits as if the property abutted on a newly constructed water main or sewer;
