§ 50.296 DEDICATION OF WATER AND SEWER LINE EXTENSIONS.

   (A)   All water and sewer extensions constructed and connected with the facilities of the town shall be dedicated to and become the property of the town upon completion and acceptance by the town. Connection to the town’s facilities shall constitute dedication of an extension. The property owner dedicating the extension shall demonstrate the legal authority to do so.

   (B)    Following dedication and acceptance by the town, the town shall have exclusive control of all water or sewer extensions and shall be responsible for their maintenance, repair and operation. However, the dedicator of the extension shall guarantee the entire project against any failure or deficiency, including but not limited to, defective material and workmanship, for a period of 12 months from the date of acceptance, and shall be responsible for the costs of repair and replacement, associated engineering costs, and all damages to persons or property which result from any such failure or deficiency. The town shall require security for such guarantee as allowed by law.

   (C)   A property owner dedicating water or sewer extension infrastructure in connection with the dedication of street infrastructure shall comply with Town Code §§ 96.045 through 96.047.
