separate class of connection, and with respect to such connections
specify a charge based on the actual cost thereof, including Commis-
sion inspection charge, or it may make provision for the installation
of such connections, including taps into the main or line, by the appli-
cant or at the applicant's cost, but under Commission supervision and
inspection. The Commission may further provide that any class of
connection from its water line or sanitary sewer pipe may be con-
structed beyond the property line of the property to be served, if the
connecting pipe may be constructed at one time from the main to the
structure on the property to be served, but with respect to the portion
of the connecting pipe from the property line in or on the property
the expense of construction and of subsequent maintenance thereof
shall be at the sole expense of the property owner. If the Commission
provides for an unimproved area class of connections, the charges
for water and sanitary sewer connections to similar properties in
already developed areas may be based upon the Commission's calcula-
tion, utilizing its experience, of an average cost for such connections
in both unimproved and already developed areas, and that figure may
be specified as the uniform charge provided for in Sec. 83-80 (71-28)
for connections installed by the Commission in already developed
areas, and any difference between the actual cost of such connections
and the uniform charge so established shall be a part of the cost of
providing water and sewer service, as applicable, for which other
provisions of this subtitle provide a water service charge or a sewer
usage charge. In adopting, or amending from time to time any rules
or regulations under this Section, the Commission shall fulfill the
requirements of Section 83-59 (71-8).

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That if any word, phrase, clause,
sentence or any part or parts of this Act shall be held unconstitutional
by any court of competent jurisdiction such unconstitutionality shall
not affect the validity of the remaining parts of this Act or of any
other section thereof.

Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
July 1, 1968.

Approved April 10, 1968.
