The water and sewer main extension policy of the town for areas beyond present town trunk mains and the policy to be followed in connection therewith shall be, and the same is hereby declared to be, as follows: The town desires to encourage the development of undeveloped areas through repayment for extra costs incurred in construction of “off-site” mains that are necessary to serve new developments, and bring service to existing developments, in order to distribute the costs of extending the mains between two or more developers. This policy would apply where a main extension was constructed by one developer and connected to or utilized at a later date by one or more developers or property owners. For this purpose, a WATER OR SEWER MAIN is defined as a main constructed from the town’s existing point of connection to, and along, the frontage or boundary of the development with the capacity to serve additional developments. However, the developer must pay all costs for engineering design and construction of mains of such size as to afford adequate capacity and service for specific “service areas” to be served by such mains.
