65.    (Connections.) The Town shall provide for each and every prop-
erty abutting upon a street or right of way in which a water main or
sewer is laid, a water service pipe or sewer connection, which shall be
extended from the water main or sewer to the property line of the
abutting lot, and shall be constructed by and at the sole expense of
the Town, but subject to the connection charge provided for in Section
66 (which charge shall be paid before the actual connection with any
pipe or private property is made). When any water main or sewer is
declared by the Town complete and ready for the delivery of water or
the reception of sewage, every abutting property owner, after due notice,
shall make a connection of all spigots or hydrants, toilets and waste
drains with said water main or sewer within the time prescribed by the
Town. Where the aforesaid fixtures do not exist, or are of a nature
which, in the judgment of the Town, is improper or inadequate, satisfactory
equipment shall be installed by the owner on the premises consisting
of at least one water closet and one sink or washbasin, both of which
shall be properly connected with the sewer. The Town may require that
all cesspools, sinkdrains, and privies be abandoned, filled, removed or
left in such a way as not to injure public health. All wells found to be
polluted or a menace to health may be ordered to be abandoned and
closed. Any violation of an ordinance passed under the provisions of this
section may be made a misdemeanor.

66.    (Charge for Connections.) The Town may make a charge, the
amount to be determined by the Commission, for each connection made
to the Town's water or sewer mains. This charge shall be uniform through-
out the Town, but may be changed from year to year. Arrangements
for the payment of this charge shall be made before the connection
is made.

67.    (Improper Uses.) In order to prevent any leakage or waste of
water or other improper use of the Town's water system or sewage
disposal system, the Town may require such changes in plumbing, fix-
tures, or connections as it deems necessary to prevent such waste or im-
proper use.

68.    (Private Systems.) The Town may by ordinance provide that
no water supply, sewerage, or storm water drainage system, and no water
mains, sewers, drains, or connections therewith, shall be constructed or
operated by any person or persons, firm, corporation, institution, or com-
munity, whether upon private premises or otherwise, and may provide
that cesspools or other private methods of sewage disposal shall be oper-
ated and maintained in such a manner that they do not and will not be
likely to affect adversely the public comfort and health. And any cess-
pool or other private method of sewage disposal affecting or likely to
affect adversely the public comfort and health may be deemed a nuisance
and may be abated by the Town. Any violation of an ordinance passed
under the provisions of this section may be made a misdemeanor.

69.    (Extensions Beyond Boundaries.) The Town shall have the power
to extend its water or sewerage systems beyond the Town limits.

70.    (Right of Entry.) Any employee or agent of the Town, while
in the necessary pursuit of his official duties with regard to the water
or sewage disposal systems operated by the Town, shall have the right
of entry, for access to water or sewer installations, at all reasonable
hours, and after reasonable advance notice to the owner, tenant, or per-
son in possession, upon any premises and into any building in the Town
or in the County served by the Town's water or sewage disposal system.
