A. Whenever it is legally possible and practicable in terms of topography to connect a lot with a Town water or sewer line by running a connection line not more than 200 feet from the lot to the line, then no use requiring water or sewage disposal service may be made of the lot unless connection is made to the line.
B. Connection to the water or sewer is not legally possible if, in order to make connection with the line by a connecting line that does not exceed 200 feet in length, it is necessary to run the connecting line over property not owned by the owner of the property to be served by the connection and, after diligent effort, the easement necessary to run the connecting line cannot reasonably be obtained.
C. For purposes of this article, a lot is served by a Town-owned water or sewer line if connection is required by this section, with the exception of:
a. If the potable water system will not generate water pressure that is equal to the average of connected customers within a quarter-mile radium of the owner’s point of connection (as determined by a licensed professional engineer), then connection to the water system is not required.
b. If the cost to connect to the sewer system is greater than the cost to install an on-site wastewater system (as determined by a licensed soil scientist, on-site wastewater contractor, or licensed plumbing contractor), then connection to sewer system is not required.
