Water connection permits will be permitted subject
to the following conditions: The water connection permit shall be
used within 180 days of issuance, "use" being defined as the installation
of the main tap and service to the foundation and, in the case of
new construction, completion of construction of the foundation. Any
permit issued shall be deemed abandoned and invalid unless the work
authorized by it shall have been commenced within the 180 days after
its issuance; however, one or more extensions of time, for periods
not to exceed 180 days each, may be granted, in writing, by the Water
Department. Work under such a permit, in the opinion of the Water
Department Supervisor, must proceed in good faith continuously to
the completion so far as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances.
Any increases in fees or charges voted into effect since the issuance
of the last permit or permit extension will be due and collected upon
the approval of any extension.
