A service line from the curb to a property line shall not serve more than one property.

D. 
In the event of a complaint of a leak on a water building connection, the Town will at once determine if the leak is in the public way, in which case the leak will then be repaired at the Town's expense.

Likewise, the costs of any work outside of the property line, made necessary by neglect or through the action of a property owner or tenant, shall be charged to the property owner.
C. 
For any leak that is repaired by an agent of the Town that is found to be in the connection at the point of junction with the Town's pipe or on private property, the owner will be so informed and the Town may relieve the leakage at the owner's expense. In addition, the owner shall be billed for the expense incurred by the Town. This bill shall be paid promptly and failure to do so shall result in the Town taking such legal action as is required.

B. 
Where no public water supply is available and the Mayor and Council determines that an extension of the Town's water system is not warranted nor feasible, the Mayor and Council may issue a well permit.

C. 
Whenever a water connection is provided for a property previously served by a well, the well shall be examined to determine whether it is polluted or will be a menace to health.

A. 
No cesspool, septic tank, or other private methods of sewage disposal shall be operated and maintained in such a manner as to adversely affect the public comfort and health or water supply source, and any cesspool, septic tank or other private method of sewage disposal adversely affecting the public comfort, health or water supply shall, on the order of the Mayor and Council, be discontinued immediately.
