(A) (1) The town will construct, or have constructed on its behalf, all sanitary building sewers, water services, and storm sewer services located within the public rights-of-way. The property owner for whom any such service will be constructed shall pay the town for the cost thereof.
(2) If constructed by town forces, payment will be based on the cost of equipment and labor as periodically established by the Utilities Superintendent and adopted by the Town Council, plus the actual cost of materials used. If the town employs a private contractor for such construction, the property owner shall be charged for the entire contract cost.
(B) It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to make arrangements with, and pay for, a private excavation contractor to install building sewers, water services, and storm sewer services from the public right-of-way to the building being connected.
(C) Said services shall be designed to conform to minimum standards for building services. It shall thereafter be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain the services from the public right-of-way to the building being served in a sanitary working condition so as to prevent contamination of the town’s publicly owned system(s).
(D) A written agreement between the property owner and the town is required prior to the construction of any new sanitary building sewer, water service, or storm sewer service.
