(a) No person shall open, uncover or in any manner make connection with or tap any main or line of the Town waterworks or sewage works, or lay water, drain or sewage pipes on any public or private premises, without first obtaining a written permit from the Town Manager.

(b) No person shall increase the number of fixture units served by an existing connection to the waterworks or sewage works without obtaining a written permit from the Town Manager.

(c) Applications for a permit to tap or add fixtures will be reviewed to ensure that all proposed construction complies with all applicable codes. Where review necessitates that Town officials consult with an engineer or other expert, the costs of the consultation shall be borne by the applicant.

(d) A permit for water service will not be issued unless the approved building permit plans provide for the installation of a separate curb stop, or other approved shut-off device, for each water-using unit to facilitate individualized service to each water-using unit.

(e) A permit for sewer service will not be issued unless the property to be serviced has its own service line for each of the property’s structures in which there are one (1) or more sewer-using units connecting to the sewage works main. No connection with the sewage works shall be made by extending a service line from one (1) property to another.

(f) All curb stops, connections of service lines, meters or other appurtenances as necessary must be installed and approved by the Town Manager prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

(g) All connections authorized by the permit shall be made strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit and the requirements of this Chapter. The Town Manager may revoke a permit because of defective work which has not been corrected promptly after the giving of written notice or because of failure to complete the work within the time limit specified in the permit. The property owner shall be responsible for any and all work done pursuant to the permit, regardless of whether the work is actually done by a contractor or other authorized representative of the contractor or owner.
