Proposed
Service Connection Policies
The Selectboard
and Task Force have prepared the following guidance to help residents
and property owners understand their options and responsibilities
when considering connection to the system.
| Basic
Principles and Assumptions |
|
|
|
Connecting
to the system will be voluntary. |
| |
|
The Town will install
water service connections as part of the project cost to the
edge of the right-of-way for those properties that commit
to service by December 31, 2009. |
| |
|
There
may be circumstances where the public mains will require an
easement. |
| |
|
Property
owners will be responsible for the portion of pipes, fittings,
surface restoration, and plumbing connections on their own
property. |
| |
|
As part of the service connection fee, the Town will install
a water meter inside the building. If a frost free location
inside the building is unavailable, the property owner will
be responsible for installing an external, below grade meter
pit. |
| |
|
Installation of connection work on private property will be
done by pre-qualified contractors, will need to meet strict
specifications, be tested, and certified acceptable by the
Town. |
