(A) Every house, apartment, trailer, building, condominium, or independently owned or plumbed unit requiring a water or sewer connection pursuant to this chapter shall be separately and independently connected, except in those case where laterals have already been laid in asphalt or improved streets from the main, provision being made for the house or building, in which case the connection may be made for the house or building, in which case the connection may be made to an existing lateral. Minimum size for multiple service laterals are 1 inch for water and 6 inches for sewer or larger as may be required by the Town in specific situations. When 2 or more houses or units are connected with the same water lateral, a separate meter shall be provided for each house or unit.
(B) Temporary exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis by the Town Manager for units not in compliance herewith on the date of the adoption of this chapter. Units not meeting the separate meter requirement may continue until the time as major or substantial building changes or repairs occur. The minimum bill for temporarily approved service will be 75% of the highest recorded reading during the preceding 12 month billing period as computed as of the April 1 billing. Lacking information to compute the bill as specified above, the Town Manager shall use the closest appropriation he or she is able to obtain.
