Criteria for payment of water and/or sewer connection fees. An actual connection sufficient to commence water and/or sewer service to a building, along with the obtaining of all necessary building permits, must be made within six months of payment of the connection fee.

A credit of 100% will be given for the previously paid connection fee.
