The conditions for a water pol- icy affecting water main exten- sions are f0 be passd at the next meeting of -the Trustees to be held on May 26th. The policy is to include that extension of mains to new devel- opment inust be at the cost of the developer. That such ex- tension should meet the approval of the Trustees, the O.W.R.C. and Village engineers and that an a- greement must be signed by the jdeveloper. AIl requests for extensions and water services must be in writing and addressed to the manager. The policy is also to include a charge of $150.00 per lot for those withiii the Village and $175.00 per lot for those outside the Village. This charge is to be. paid in-total and in ad\ ance. Ail extensions are to extend to the extreme end of the last lot lu any new develppment.
