In the case of existing dedicated streets, the superintendent shall be authorized to construct water main extensions where practicable upon application of the owners of 50% or more of the abutting foot frontage to be served by the proposed extension, accompanied by payment per linear abutting foot of property owned by the petitioners. The original amount of payment per linear foot and refund of any surplus shall be determined as in § 51.21. When an extension has been constructed in accordance with this section, water tap connections to such extension shall be permitted only to serve premises for which the front foot charge has been paid at the time of the filing of the petition, provided that the owners of other property abutting the extension may be permitted to make a tap or connection upon payment of a sum equal to the original amount per linear foot plus 15% per linear abutting front foot of the premises owned by them.
