(a)(1) When the Commission replaces or enlarges a water main or sewer to provide increased water or sewer service capability for abutting or connected property because of a change in the use or zoning classification of the property, a benefit charge for the construction of the replacement or enlarged system shall be:

(i) imposed as provided in § 25-204 of this subtitle;

(b) The Commission may not impose an additional benefit charge under subsection (a) of this section for a property in the residential subdivision class that abuts on an enlarged water main or sewer and that is subject to, or was subject to and paid, a benefit charge for water main or sewer construction until the classification of the property is changed because of a change in use or zoning classification requested by the property owner.
