Any one or more property owners may request the superintendent to determine the feasibility and the estimated cost of the construction of a proposed water main extension to serve his or their premises. If the superintendent shall approve the extension and determine the estimated construction cost, the property owner or owners may deposit with the department a sum equal to the estimated cost and the superintendent shall thereupon proceed with the construction. Any surplus in the deposit amount over and above the construction cost shall be refunded to the owners or their agents. Should the construction cost exceed the deposit amount, the owner or owners shall pay the excess amount, the agreement for which shall be made at the time of the original deposit. No water tap shall be installed or water service rendered from the extension until the cost is paid in full.
