[Amended 1-8-2001 by Ord. No. 409]
No sewer or water mains or service of any type will be extended beyond the corporate limits of the Village, with the following exception: a portion of a sewer or water main may be routed outside the corporate limits of the Village when cost-effective or when necessary to meet requirements of state agencies with approval power over the location of such main, but such placement may only be made for the purpose of service to customers located within the Village.
[Amended 1-23-2006 by Ord. No. 489]
The Village Water Utility, in the discretion of the Village Board, will extend water mains for new customers and will decide whether the extension is to be eight-inch pipe or larger, where fire protection service is needed, and the entire cost will be computed and the total charged on the following basis:
A. 
Where the cost of the extension will be immediately assessed against the abutting property, the procedure set forth under Wis. Stats. § 66.0703, as provided in the Water Main Extension Rules adopted in § 223-1 shall apply.
B. 
Where the Village is unwilling to make a special assessment because of low density of prospective consumers or for some other reason, extensions may be made on a customer-financed basis as follows:
(1) 
Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
CONTRIBUTOR
The owner of property at time of a contribution or refund, unless otherwise specified by written agreement.
CUSTOMER
The owner of premises to which water is or will be furnished, unless specific written agreements specify otherwise. "Customer" at all times means the property owner at the time a contribution is to be made or a refund becomes available.
(2) 
Basis for determining contributions from original customers. The applicant (or applicants, pro rata) shall advance the amount that would have been assessed under Subsection A above, such contribution to be paid in advance of construction.
(3) 
Additional customers and refunds.
(a) 
When additional customers are connected to a water main originally financed in part by customers, the utility shall require a contribution from each new customer equal to the existing average contribution. When the amount of customer contribution computed under Subsection B(3)(b) is less than would have been assessed under Subsection A above, the applicant for service shall pay an amount equivalent to the assessment. This amount shall then be refunded pro rata to all contributors along the extension whose remaining contribution still exceeds that which would have been assessed under Subsection A above.
(b) 
When refunds have reduced the contribution of any contributor to the applicable assessment per front foot, no further refund shall be made to that individual. After all refunds have been made, the remaining premises that may connect shall be charged at the rate per front foot established for the extension.
(4) 
Limit of extension. When an extension beyond an existing extension is required to serve a new customer, and the cost for a customer exceeds the average remaining contribution in the original extension, the new extension shall be considered a new project, without refunds or other connection with the original extension.
(5) 
Refunds limited. The development period during which refunds shall be made shall be limited to 10 years.
C. 
When customers connect to a transmission main or connecting loops laid at utility expense, such customers shall contribute an amount equivalent to the applicable assessment as determined in Subsection A above.

A. 
The owners of all houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or other purposes, situated within the Village and abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way in which there is now located or may in the future be located a public water main, are hereby required, at the owners' expense, to install suitable water facilities therein and connect such facilities to the proper public water main in accordance with the provisions of this article within six months after the date of official notice from the Director of Public Works do so.

After a period of 12 months from the date of official notice, the Village may cause connection to be made. In the latter case, the expense thereof shall be assessed as a special tax against the property pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 281.45. The owner may, within 30 days after the completion of the work, file a written option with the Village stating that he cannot pay the amount in one sum and asking that it be levied in not to exceed five equal annual installments, and the amount shall be so collected with interest at the rate of 10% per year from the completion of the work, the unpaid balance to be a special tax lien.
