(A) No connection with the water system or use of water therefrom shall be made through any extension of the service line of any other premises. Whenever any person desires to tap the water main line and there is no main line in the street adjoining his or her premises, and the town is unable to extend the same, and the property owners will not join in the extension of the same, as by law provided, such person may take water to his or her premises by connecting a private line at his or her expense, in the street under the direction of the Maintenance Supervisor to a point opposite his or her premises, which private pipe line shall be treated as a water main line and a water meter shall be placed therein opposite such premises. If any person desires to tap or extend such private pipeline, adding thereto additional taps, he or she shall first procure the written consent of the owners thereof, and shall, also, procure the regular permit from the Town Clerk, and thereupon a tap may be put in the usual way, at the expense of the applicant. Whenever a regular main line is laid along where such private pipeline exists, the town may at its expense at any time discontinue such private pipeline and make all connections with the regular water main line. In all other cases where private service lines have been laid on public or private grounds and the owners desire or are required to make connections with the regular water mainline, it shall be done at the expense of such owner or water consumer.
(B) In all cases where service lines have been constructed from a single tap to different houses, buildings or premises, and a separate stop cock accessible to the Maintenance Supervisor has been placed on the line leading to each house, building or premises so that water can be easily turned or shut off from the premises, the continued use of such water extension will be permitted until main waterline is laid in the street in front of such house, building or premises, at which time connections shall be made with such main water line at the expense of the owner or consumer, and all service through the extension lines shall thereupon be discontinued.
(C) If any premises shall have an extension of service line without a separate stop cock, it will be required immediately to connect with the water main line in front of the premises if there be such water main line, or lay a private water main line and connect therewith as above provided.
(D) In no instance shall water be provided under this section to any premises, house, building or lot unless a separate water meter is installed for each premises, house, building or lot.
