This is an investment which the public has already made in the water system. Pule 9 requires an applicant for water service, whose application requires the water company to extend Its mains more than 50 feet, to enter into a contract to d&vance sufficient money to cover the cost of making such extension. This amount is refunded at the rate of 39$ of the revenue received from sales of water through connections to the extension for a period of 10 years or until the full amount has been refunded, whichever occurs first.
