shall submit plans to the town and obtain written approval upon such
conditions and subject to such limitations as may be imposed by the town.
Any public service corporation, company, or individual violating the pro-
visions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. If any unauthorized
main, conduit, pipe, or other structure interferes with the operation of the
water, sewerage, or storm water systems, the town may order it removed.

77.   OBSTRUCTIONS

All individuals, firms, or corporations having mains, pipes, conduits,
or other structures, in, on, or over any public way in the town or in the
county which impede the establishment, construction, or operation of any
town sewer or water main shall, upon reasonable notice, remove or adjust
the obstructions at their own expense to the satisfaction of the town. If
necessary to carry out the provisions of this section, the town may use
its condemnation powers provided in Paragraph 95. Any violation of an
ordinance passed under the provisions of this section may be made a mis-
demeanor.

78.   ENTERING ON COUNTY PUBLIC WAYS

The town may enter upon or do construction in, on, or over any county
public way for the purpose of installing or repairing any equipment or
doing any other things necessary to establish, operate, and maintain the
water system, water plant, sanitary sewerage system, sewage treatment
plant, or storm water sewers provided for in this charter. Unless required
by the county, the town need not obtain any permit or pay any charge for
these operations, but it must notify the county of its intent to enter on
the public way and must leave the public way in a condition not inferior
to that existing before.

79.   CONNECTIONS

The town shall provide a connection with water and sanitary sewer
mains for all property abutting on any public way in which a sanitary
sewer or water main is laid. When any water main or sanitary sewer is
declared ready for operation by the town, all abutting property owners
after reasonable notice shall connect all fixtures with the water or sewer
main. The town may require that, if it considers existing fixtures unsatis-
factory, satisfactory ones be installed and may require that all cesspools,
sink drains, and privies be abandoned, filled, removed or left in such a way
as not to insure 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.

80.   SAME—CHARGE

The town may make a charge, the amount to be determined by the
council, for each connection made to the town's water or sewer mains.
This charge shall be uniform throughout 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.

81.   CHANGES IN PLUMBING, ETC., TO PREVENT WASTE OR

IMPROPER USE

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, fixtures, or connections as it deems
necessary to prevent such waste or improper use.
