rock construction shall be negotiated on a cost basis for labor
and materials.
C. Sewer connection charges shall be paid, cash in full,
in advance, at the time of request for service. Sewer connection
work shall not begin until such charges are paid. In the event
that connection is made to an existing service prior to payment
of fees as set forth above, water service shall be withheld or
disconnected until payment is made.
D. All constructed premises located within 100 feet of
existing sewer trunk lines shall complete a lateral connection
to, and obtain service from, such line within six months from the
