A. 
Whenever a water main is extended so as to be accessible to any property, the property owner shall make connection therewith, in accordance with this chapter, within six months of such extension.
B. 
Separate water building connections for each separate lot or parcel of land abutting on a street, alley or right-of-way in which there is a water main belonging to the Town shall be constructed by the owner of said lot or parcel of land from such property line to the building.
C. 
Whenever it shall be determined that a water building connection was constructed in violation of the terms and conditions upon which a permit therefor was issued, the water connection thereto may be cut off at the stopcock until the connections have been made to comply with all of the conditions of said permit or, in the alternative, the Town may, after notice to the property owner, cause the defect to be corrected and charge the expense thereof to said property owner.
D. 
Water connections for properties not abutting directly on a water main may be allowed under such conditions and at such charges as the Town may require.
E. 
No connection shall be made to any water service pipe between the water main and the meter, except as the Town may install. If such unlawful connection is found, the water house connection will be cut off at the main until such unlawful connection is disconnected and abandoned. Any expense to which the Town shall be subjected due to the above work shall be paid for before service is restored.
F. 
If it is found that such unlawful connection has been made to bypass a detector check in order to illegally obtain unmetered water, the detector check will be removed and replaced by a suitable meter. Such removal and replacement and any fines or fees shall be paid for before service is restored. Water and/or sewer charges shall be established by the Mayor and Council from time to time.
Temporary water service for building or other construction work may be furnished as follows: upon the filing of proper applications and the payment of a suitable deposit, a temporary water connection may be constructed by the consumer from the main to his/her service facilities with an outside meter setting installed at the property line. When the consumer has finished the connection, the Superintendent will cause the meter to be read and a licensed plumber shall remove the entire connection to the property line. The cost of the removal of the connection plus the meter service charge plus the charge for the water used, computed at the regular consumption rates, will be deducted from the deposit and the remainder, if any, returned to the consumer. If the total charges exceed the deposit, the consumer will be billed for the excess.
Tapping or making a connection for a new or replacement connection to any service main constructed in any street or public way will be made at the expense of the property owner who shall be required to pay, in addition to the connection fees, the actual costs of any materials and equipment used and labor furnished. The licensed contractor shall install a stopcock six inches inside the curb and connect the service pipe to the service main. No person other than the Superintendent or under the direction of the Superintendent shall allow any such connection. Any service main, whether owned by the Town or by the property owner, shall have a diameter of less than 3/4 of an inch.
A. 
Nonemergencies.
(1) 
The property owner is responsible for the maintenance of the water connections from the property line to the building line and all lines, piping and fixtures in the building and on the property itself. The owner is responsible for any and all rent resulting from leaks, including sewer rent. It is the owner's responsibility to locate the leaks and have them repaired at his/her own expense, and owner is responsible for all water and sewer rents resulting from leaks from the property line to the building line and in the building and on the property itself, as well as normal sewer and water rents. The Town may do maintenance or repairs on any such connections if necessary to prevent leaks and wasted or lost water.
(2) 
If requested by the owner, in writing, however, the cost, including overhead expenses, shall be paid by the property owner. However, before the Town begins such repairs, the owner must deposit with the Clerk-Treasurer an amount of 60% of the approximate cost of repairs, and the balance is due upon the completion of repairs, and the moneys due become a lien upon the property, collectible in the same manner as delinquent taxes.
B. 
Emergencies. In the event of a complaint regarding a leak, the Town will at once determine if the leak is in the public way, in which case the leak will then be repaired. If it is found that the leak is not the Town's responsibility, the owner will be so notified and it shall be his/her responsibility to have the leak repaired at once by a master plumber at the owner's expense or, if necessary, the Town may perform such repair work. However, the cost, including overhead expenses, shall be paid by the property owner as set forth in § 280-17A.
C. 
If the valve in the meter box located on the property can shut off the leak, then the property owner is responsible to make said repair at their own expense before the Town will turn the water back on. If the leak cannot be stopped by shutting off an individual property and the property owner is not available to authorize said repair, the Town may proceed with such repair to avoid lost water. In this case if the leak is on said property or within the edge of the street curb or blacktop, then the property owner will be responsible for the repair.
