No person shall construct, install, erect or establish any device,
structure, or system for the removal of surface or subsurface water,
or excavate, alter or regrade the surface to change the flow of surface
or subsurface water, from any property within University Park without
a permit issued by the Town. Applications for drainage permits shall
be made with a nonrefundable filing fee of $50 and plans for the work
