an extension shall make written application to the Commission setting
forth the course of such extension and the type of services desired.
Should the Commission feel that the extension of such water and/or sew-
er mains is to the best interest of the citizens of the Town of Prosper,
the Commission may authorize that such extensions be made, provided,
however, that adequate safe guards shall be insured to guarantee that
such extensions shall be constructed so as to meet the standards and
specifications of the Town of Prosper, and such mains shall become the
property of the Town of Prosper when the same are completed; provided,

City shall charge and collect from each party who taps such main a
fee of 150.00 and remit the same to the party who paid the cost of
the extension. A tap shall be considered to be a service line con-
nected onto such main or connected onto a lateral line which is
served by such main. The aforesaid fee shall be collected by the
Town of Prosper at such time as the tap is made and is connected on-
to a dwelling, or structure so that such utilities are to be used. .00

The fact that the Town of Prosper does not now have an Ordinance
providing for a method of extending water and/or sewer mains creates
an emergency and an imperative public necessity; therefore, this Ordi-
nance shall take effect immediately upon its passage and approval.
