(A) Any person desiring a water and/or sewer connection shall apply to the Clerk and pay the fees required. All applications for water and/or sewer service are subject to the approval of the Superintendent.
(1) If applicant has a delinquent account at any location within the town’s jurisdiction, no new connection(s) may be established at any other locations within the jurisdiction until the delinquent account is made current.
(2) Provision of social security number by applicant is voluntary in accordance with G.S. 105A-3(C). Social security numbers will only be used for the collection of outstanding debt through the NC debt setoff program or any needs of local law enforcement.
(B) All persons desiring water and/or sewer service from the town shall first make application to the Clerk. Non-property owners will be required to make a deposit of $100 for service inside the corporate limits of the town, or $150 if service desired is outside the corporate limits of the town. If the applicant has had service with the town prior and left a delinquent account, that balance must be made current and the applicant is subject to a deposit fee 25% higher than current deposit charge. The deposits are to be returned to the patron upon application to discontinue service, less any current water and/or sewer bills, or for the fractional portion of a month the patron received water and/or sewer service.

Should the extension be approved by the Town Board, the person desiring to make such extension shall acquire all necessary easements for right-of-way, and shall file a written statement with the Clerk that he shall bear all costs of the extension, and that he will be governed by any and all provisions as outlined by the Town Board before such extension is made.
