The residents in the affected area derive the benefit, moving off septic systems that can fail, so they need to pay the bill.

All city residents benefit from moving homes off septic tanks, and the cost is less onerous when spread over a larger population.

I don't agree with either question but City should Grandfather the existing systems until they fail or the house is sold. Then hookups should be required. If system fails fee can be paid over 30 years

The costs should not be $25K, there should be a LID created that would allow the residence to pay for the connection over time at a much lower cost.
