(A) Each lot or building unit shall be supplied with potable water in sufficient volume and pressure for domestic use and fire protection purposes. Design and construction of any and all facilities relating to the supply, storage, transmission, treatment and distribution of potable water within or outside of any subdivision must meet the written approval of the Manager or a private water company. All design and construction must meet all applicable Town and State Department of Health Services, or private water company if applicable, specifications and requirements in force at the time of plan review and approval. If it is necessary for the municipality to apply specifications or requirements not in force at the time of plan review, but necessary to achieve the orderly and proper development of any portion of any water system, either public or private, the municipality reserves the right to enforce the specifications and requirements to ensure and protect the public welfare.
(B) The municipality assumes no liability for providing water to any proposed or actual subdivision requiring public water service until the time as all necessary facilities are built in accordance with the Water Department specifications and meet with the written approval of the Manager.
(C) The municipality reserves the right to participate in any or all phases of any development of any water facilities aforementioned in any subdivision requiring public water service. Conversely, the municipality reserves the right not to participate in any or all phases of the development of any water facilities aforementioned in these subdivisions.
(D) Ultimately, Water Department specifications and requirements relating to fire protection are established by the Fire Chief. All other specifications and requirements of the Water Department are established by the Town Manager. Any specifications or requirements for subdivisions requiring public water service may be subject to change based on the final design of the subdivision, and changes or revisions in the plat, or actual construction of facilities within the subdivision having requirements greater than those for which the water facilities were designed.
(E) Any specifications or requirements established by the Town Manager for subdivisions requiring public water service shall be considered null and void unless they are written in form and signed by the Town Manager. The specifications and requirements of the municipality regarding the public water systems are subject to change at any time and will be enforced from the date of change.
