(A) The town shall run a service line from its distribution line to the property line where the distribution line exists and runs immediately adjacent and parallel to the property to be served, and for which a service charge, as set forth by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and posted in the Town Hall, will be made for each such new service where a standard meter is installed inside city limits and outside the city limits and a proportionately greater charge where a meter of larger dimension is installed. Note: The connection charges, as posted in the Town Hall, may be changed by order of the town at a time as market conditions may justify all other provisions herein to remain in effect.
(B) The town may install its meter at the property line or, at the town’s option, on the consumer’s property or in a location mutually agreed upon.
(C) When two or more meters are to be installed on the same premises for different consumers, they shall be closely grouped and each clearly designated to which consumer it applies.
(D) The town does not assume the responsibility of inspecting the consumer’s piping or apparatus and will not be responsible therefor.
(E) The town reserves the right to refuse service unless the consumer’s lines and piping are installed in a manner as to prevent cross-connections or backflow.
(F) The town shall not be liable for damage of any kind whatsoever resulting from water or the use of water on the consumers premises, unless the damage results directly from negligence on the part of the town. The town shall not be responsible for any damage done by or resulting from any defect in piping, fixtures or appliances on the consumer’s premises. The town shall not be responsible for negligence of third persons, or forces beyond the control of the town, resulting in any interruption of service. If adjustments are requested, the Town Board will review on an individual basis and make a determination on whether to grant the adjustment to an account.
(G) Under normal conditions, the consumer will be notified of any anticipated interruption of service.
