Then at alater date if anyone applies for a building permit, the Village Clerk can notify the prospective builder of the cost for attaching to the sewer or water which has been installed by someone else. If this information is correct, . I would certainly apprec- iate hearing from you about it. Thank you kindly for your consideration.
