The difference in cost between a four inch pipe and the larger size pipe together with any additional fire 12 hydrants and appurtenances shall be assessed against and paid by the property benefited. The equivalent cost of the 13 various size pipeline installations used in the computation of assessments to property benefited shall be determined by 14 the water department from current cost records for similar installations. 15 16 is hereby amended to read as follows: 17 A.
