Chapter 1 Water And Sewers
18-106 : Deposits and connection charges.
Service lines will be laid by the municipality from its mains to the property line at the expense of the municipality. The location of such lines will be determined by the municipality.
Before a new water or sewer service line will be laid by the municipality, the applicant shall make such deposits and pay such connection charges as the board of mayor and aldermen may from time to time prescribe.
Any required deposits shall be used to secure payment to the municipality of any sums owed by the customer to the municipality.
Any required connection charges shall be used to help defray the costs of installing service lines, meters, and meter boxes.
When a service line is completed, the municipality shall be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of such service line from the main to and including the meter and meter box, and such portion of the service line shall belong to the municipality. The remaining portion of the service line beyond the meter box (or property line, in the case of sewers) shall belong to and be the responsibility of the customer. (1980 Code, § 13-106)
