Any such household and/or business which is using the municipal sewer system must use the municipal water system.

(2) Account set up fee;
(3) Standard connection charge; and
(4) Monthly minimum water provisions fee.
(C) Payment of the fees and deposits described in division (B) above shall be on such terms as the town may direct. The amount of such fees and deposits shall be the prevailing rate or charge set forth from time to time by the town.
