Every person or persons requesting a connection to the village’s water supply, including persons moving into the municipality, must make application therefor to the Municipal Clerk. The Clerk shall require every applicant to pay a deposit of $300. The deposit will be refunded after two years if or in case the depositor departs or disposes of the property, whichever occurs first. In the event that deposits are not made promptly, water service will be discontinued or refused until all required payments are made. The Clerk also shall require applicants for new installations to pay (1) water line inspection fees of $30 for two inspections, one inspection before the water lines are covered and one after the water lines are covered and (2) connection or tap fees of $2,500 for each incoming service line and for each additional living unit or separate premise as defined in § 51.01. The Clerk shall then forward the application to the Utilities Superintendent. Water may not be supplied to any applicant or private service pipe except upon the order of the Utilities Superintendent or the Water Commissioner.
