(E) Persons who are now or shall hereafter become connected to the system and will experience periods of non-occupation of the premises and use of the sewage system shall be permitted to have installed a blank or valve in the service line to render the service line inoperable and the sewage collection system incapable of collecting waste from that property. A person proposing to make the installation shall make application therefor to the sewage works in the form as may be prescribed by the utility. An application for permission to install a blank or a valve in a service line as above set forth shall be accompanied by a fee, as set by Town Council ordinance or resolution from time to time, which fee is not refundable. The installation shall be subject to the final approval of the utility.
