dustrial at the back of the property.

if they will assume costs for a portion of the extension.

ing but believes that this matter should come before the County
Executives Office.

line, and if the City wishes to enlarge the system the additional
cost would be paid by the City; in reference to water the same
would apply unless the County wishes to install their own well.
