[Amended 12-11-2006 by Ord. No. 564]
A. 
Each and every improved property within the Borough shall be connected to the public water system when available. The public water system shall be considered available to an improved property when the property abuts a street in which a water main is located.
B. 
The Borough may order and the property owner shall install water service, within 45 days after notice to the owner thereof from the Borough to make connection to the public water system when available. The notice by the Borough to make a connection to the water system shall consist of a copy of this article, including any amendments and/or supplements at the time in effect, or a summary of each section hereof, and a written or printed document requiring the connection in accordance with the provisions of this article and specifying that such connection shall be made within 45 days after notice is given or served. Such notice may be given or served at any time after a lateral is in a place that can deliver water to the particular improved property. Such notice shall be given or served upon the owner by personal service or by registered or certified mail to his last known address.
C. 
All costs and expenses of construction of a service connection and all costs and expenses of connection of a service connection to a lateral shall be borne by the owner of the improved property to be connected; and such owner shall indemnify and shall save harmless the Borough from all loss or damage that may be occasioned, directly or indirectly, as a result of construction of a service connection or of connection of a service connection to a lateral.
D. 
A service connection shall be connected to a lateral at the place designated by the Borough and where, if applicable, the lateral is provided. The service connection shall meet all requirements of this chapter.
E. 
If the owner of any improved property shall fail to connect such improved property, as required, the Borough may enter upon such improved property and may construct such connection and may collect from such owner the costs and expenses thereof in the manner permitted by law.
