(A) A written application for service or a contract properly executed may be required from customers (including contractors and builders) before the town will supply service. However, the town shall have the right to reject for any valid reason, an application. Where unusual construction or equipment expenses will be involved in furnishing the service, the town may require the contract to be for an appropriate period of time specified by the town when the contract is executed. A contract charge, which includes the initial turn-on of service, shall be added to the first month’s bill for water service.
(B) It is understood that any application for service accepted by the town is subject to a distribution main being, or being made available, adjacent to the premises and subject to the terms of any and all contracts concerning the main in force at the time of application.
(C) No promise, agreement, or representation by any agent of the town shall be binding upon the town unless the same shall have been incorporated in a written contract signed and approved by an agent of the town authorized to sign such contract on behalf of the town.
(D) The benefits and obligations under any contract for the supply of water by the town shall begin when the town commences to supply water service. A person who made a contract for water service to premises shall be held liable for all water service furnished to such premises until such time as the town is properly notified to discontinue the service for his or her account and a final reading of the meter is obtained. The town shall obtain such final reading as soon as possible.
(E) Contracts for water service will cover only the premises and uses applied for. Customers shall not sell or give away water or grant privileges to use water to anyone not specifically included in the contract under penalty of discontinuance of service.
(F) Upon request, the customer shall provide information to the town concerning the devices that are to be connected to the town’s distribution main and the location of the premises. The town may request the customer to provide plans and specifications covering the construction on the premises.
