Any fractional part of an acre shall be considered to be one whole acre when computing the tap-on fee.

If multiple acreage is involved, the rate would be computed by rounding off the acres to the nearest whole number.

Charges for watermain taps or service taps that are made by the Normal Water Department are due and payable upon completion of the tap and when bills are rendered. The user or customer will be assessed at prevailing material and labor costs. A schedule of charges is listed at the Water Department displaying estimated charges for particular size taps. This schedule is intended as a guide only and does not reflect any additional costs that might arise from unpredicted cost factors resulting from the performance of the tap.

Taps made by other than the Normal Water Department must have prior written approval by the Director of Water before any work may proceed. All materials and workmanship related to the performance of watermain tapping must conform to the State of Illinois Standard Specifications for Water, current edition.

SEC. 7.11-5 APPLICATION. Any residence or business which presently is served by the Town of Normal's water system will not be charged the tap-on fee as stated above, and in connection with the North Linden Street area, the charges above set forth would be applicable on the portion of the proposed main from Station 16+50 to Station 25+75 only, as shown on the Town's plans under date of 7/21/67, file number 24-1168 (D-7).

SEC. 7.11-6 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS. It is a condition precedent to the allowance of any tap that said tap-on charges herein established be paid to the Town of Normal and it is a further requirement that anyone making such tap-on shall abide by all other ordinances and regulations of the Town.
