necessary. No connection of any kind shall be made with any

dentials from the Commission, order and require such changes

unnecessary or improper use of sewers. No private or semi-
public water supply or sewerage installation intended for the
use of two or more buildings or premises shall be constructed
in any Sanitary District without the person, firm or corporation
doing the work having first obtained a permit from the Com-
mission and paid a reasonable charge therefor, and such plant
shall then be installed, maintained and operated under such
rules and regulations as the Commission may require or devise.
Any violation of any of the provisions of this Section shall be
a misdemeanor punishable under Section 22 of this Act.

sonable, based upon the width of the street, road, alley, or
right-of-way in which the connection is made, provided how-
ever, that the connection charge on either side of the street,
road, alley or right-of-way shall be uniform. All of the reve-
nue, above actual cost, derived from such charges shall be re-
tained by the Commission as a fund for repairs, replacements or
any extraordinary expense in the maintenance and operation of
the water supply, sewerage and drainage systems under its con-
trol.
