The area shown on the plan designated Conewago
Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania, Water District I, is hereby

The Township shall enter into a contract with
the borough[1] to provide water for public and private use to be delivered
through lines owned by that municipality within the Township.

Editor's Note: "Borough" refers to the Borough
of Hanover, York County, Pennsylvania.
Abutting property owners to the water system
provided by the Township under the authority of this article shall
connect with and use the system and pay for the use of such water.
Should an owner of property abutting the system fail to connect with
and use the system within 90 days after notice to do so has been served
on the owner or owners of record by the Board of Supervisors of the
Township, said Board or their agents may enter the property and construct
the connection. Said Board shall send an itemized bill for the cost
of construction of the connection to the owner or owners referred
to above, which bill shall be immediately due and payable unless the
Board, at its discretion, authorizes payment for such construction
in equal installments as authorized by law. Notice shall be deemed
given on the date of mailing of any notice or billing to the owner
or owners at the address shown on the tax assessment records maintained
in the office of the Adams County Tax Assessor. Failure to pay the
cost of construction or any installment within 10 days of the payment
due shall be deemed a default, and the Board shall be authorized to
initiate collection of the past due amount, together with interest
and attorneys' collection fees, in the manner authorized by law.
Water rents shall be established by the Borough
of Hanover or its successors or assigns and shall be paid to such
provider of water.
The cost of construction of the water system,
including water mains and hydrants, shall be charged upon the properties
accommodated or benefited thereby by using the following method: by
an assessment under a resolution or ordinance of the Board of Supervisors
of each lot or piece of land in proportion to its frontage abutting
on the water mains, allowing an equitable reduction in the case of
corner properties and unusually shaped properties or in the case of
properties abutting on more than one main as the resolution or ordinance
may specify.
