No person, corporation, owner or consumer shall make any connection
or opening into a public water main, except upon authorization of
the Superintendent. All connections to water mains, including service
line work and excavation within public rights-of-way, shall be done
by the district or its authorized representatives, including all excavation
around or near public water mains, unless the Superintendent authorizes
or requires a duly licensed and insured contractor make such connections.
Prior to connection to a public water supply for water service,
the owner shall pay to the district a tap-in fee. Said fee shall be
established by the Board from time to time by resolution of the Board.
The fee schedule is on file in the Town Clerk's office. The Superintendent
may require a greater fee for larger tap-ins or where special circumstances
apply in the amount of the actual cost to the district for making
the tap-in.
