(A) All additions to the town’s water or sewer system by other than town personnel, whether inside or outside the town, shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter as well as all other applicable town specifications and requirements. These include, but are not limited to, specifications governing the size of all lines, their location, grade, materials used, manner of installation and provision for future extensions.
(B) No construction on any addition to the town’s water or sewer system shall commence until detailed plans have been reviewed and approved by the Administrator. The plan shall include whatever information the Administrator deems reasonably necessary to determine whether the proposed extension complies with all applicable town specifications and requirements.
(C) Water lines intended for addition to the publicly owned water system will be allowed to connect to the system only if installed within the right-of-way of a publicly dedicated and opened street, except that the town may accept an offer of dedication of lines installed within unsubdivided commercial or industrial developments if necessary easements are provided. Sewer lines shall also be installed within public street rights-of-way wherever practicable, but the town may accept sewer lines constructed on private property (where the topography makes this necessary) if adequate permanent easements are provided.
(D) To protect street surfaces, the town may require that whenever extensions of water or sewer lines are made to properties or within new subdivisions, laterals be extended to all properties expected to tap on to those water or sewer lines.
(E) By making application for extension to the town’s water or sewer system, the person responsible for the extension agrees to indemnify and hold the town harmless from all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense resulting from injury to any person or property arising out of the extension of those service lines.
