The owner of any building(s) upon land abutting a public or
private way in which there is a common, Town-owned water line or main
may, subject to capacity, to the availability of a sufficient volume
of potable water and to any applicable rules, regulations, standards
and procedures of the Water and Sewer Commissioners, connect such
building(s) to such water line or main, provided that such owner disconnects
such building(s) from any and all other water sources.
Persons connected to Town-owned water lines or mains shall pay
for the water provided thereby at rates to be established by the Town's
Water and Sewer Commissioners in accordance with applicable law (including,
where applicable, regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications
and Energy), or until such time as Water and Sewer Commissioners are
elected, by the Selectmen acting in their capacity of Water and Sewer
Commissioners or otherwise.
If any provision of the within bylaw is held invalid by a court
of competent jurisdiction or by the Attorney General, the remainder
of such bylaw shall take effect and remain in effect to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law.
