§ 15-7-601 — Extension of system; within corporate limits

Any city or town owning its municipal water system or plant may
enter into agreements with the owners of lands who desire to
have the water system extended to their property within the
corporate limits of the city or town. The land owners shall
agree to pay to the city or town a stipulated amount, in
installments as may be agreed upon, for a period not to exceed
ten (10) years, regardless of the use or nonuse of water during
the period, and to making the charges a lien upon their
respective lands. When the agreement has been filed with the
city or town clerk, the charges become a lien upon the lands.
Any city or town, by ordinance, may prescribe the rules and
regulations governing the agreements and provide for the
enforcement of the lien.
