Extensions into subdivisions. When a real estate owner

Should construction be by the owner, a performance bond is required
and the work shall conform to Department specifications and inspections
prior to being accepted by the Department.

Developer to pay engineering costs. The developer
will pay all engineering costs incurred by the Village for work done
for this project.

Water District extensions. All Water District extensions
that are located outside the Village will require a special ruling
from the Board or the Water Department.

Extension at Department expense. The Department reserves
the right to construct such mains and service improvements as it may
judge beneficial to the system. Such construction or improvement shall
not obviate any of the conditions of this article.
Any subdivision or main extension which cannot
be functionally supplied with an existing plant and system will require
special arrangements.
