connection with the system without the written authority
of the commission, except that no restriction shall apply
to any bona fide fire department in the discharge of its
duties. Outside the bounds of incorporated towns, the
commission, upon a determination that public safety will
be served, may require the installation of fire hydrants
to public or private systems existing or to be
constructed, and may prescribe such rules and regulations
for the use and maintenance thereof as it deems
necessary. The commission is authorized to enter into
any agreements with the owners or operators of such
systems designed to install fire hydrants or other fire
protection equipment as may be [deemed] CONSIDERED in the
public interest. No person, firm, or corporation may
tamper with, deface, damage, or obstruct any fire
hydrant. A violation of any of the provisions of this
section is a misdemeanor, punishable under section
[10A-21] 10A-23. 10A-7. The commission shall provide for each and every
property abutting upon a street or right of way in which
a water main or sewer is laid, when service to such
property is feasible, a water service pipe and sewer
connection, which shall be extended as required from the
water and sewer mains to the property line of the
abutting lot. The water service pipe and the connection
with the sewer shall be constructed by and at the expense
of the commission, subject to the charge for [said] THE
connection as provided in section [10A—19] 10A-20, which
charge shall be paid by all property owners at the office
of the commission. When any water main or sewer is
declared by the commission to be 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 the water main or sewer within the time
prescribed by the commission. If these fixtures do not
exist or are of a nature which, in the judgment of the
commission, is improper or inadequate, satisfactory
equipment shall be installed by the owner [on] OF the
premises consisting of at least one water closet and one
sink or washbasin, both of which shall be properly
connected with the sewer of the commission. No private
water or sewerage system shall be connected to any water
or sewerage system owned or operated by the commission.
All private water systems discharging waste water into
the commission sewerage system, and cesspools, sink
drains, and privies located on properties connected to
sewers provided by the commission shall be abandoned,
closed, and left in a sanitary condition so that no odor
or nuisance will arise therefrom. Any violation of the
provisions of this section is a misdemeanor punishable
under section [10A-21] 10A-23. 10A-8.
