(A) All premises with primary structures, as defined by the Ch. 157, or, in the case of properties outside the boundaries of the village covered by an agreement referenced in § 50.01, all premises with primary structures as defined in the zoning ordinance of the governmental entity having zoning jurisdiction over said property, shall connect to the village’s water supply system, provided a public water main is within 200 feet (61 meters) of the property and there is sufficient capacity in the water supply system. All expenses to plumb the structure for connection and to construct the water service line and public appurtenances for connection to the public water main shall be borne by the owner of the connected premises.
(B) Premises with primary structures not connected to a public water main and meeting the criteria for connection shall connect to a public water main within 90 days of receipt of a notice to do so. Property owners have 21 days from receipt of the notice to request a waiver from the Village Council from the requirement to connect.
(C) Upon an application from the property owner, the Village Council may waive the mandatory connection requirement on the basis of unique circumstances when an alternative water supply system provided for in this chapter is used. The Council may limit the time period or attach any reasonable conditions to the granted waiver.
(D) The village is not liable for any damage caused to a connected property by breakage or leakage arising from the connection to the water supply system or for the failure of the water supply or the freezing or deterioration of pipes and fixtures of the village.
