(A) Except as provided in § 50.067 of this code for extensions within new subdivisions and other new developments in town, the town will initially bear the cost of extending water or sewer service to properties within the corporate limits. However, the town may recoup its costs, in whole or in part, by charging front footage fees at the time of connection to the water or sewer system, or by levying special assessments on benefitted property.
(B) Except as provided in § 50.067 of this code, the town or those entities it contracts with, will provide water and sewer main extensions to serve properties within the town.
(C) Water mains shall be extended only within the rights-of-way of publicly dedicated and opened streets. Sewer lines shall also be located within such rights-of-way, except where the topography makes this impracticable. However, in no case will the town extend sewer lines across private property, unless the town has obtained adequate permanent easements for those lines.
(D) In order to preserve road surfaces, whenever the town installs water or sewer line extensions in paved streets within the town, it may install lateral lines to serve undeveloped as well as developed properties.
