Sec. 6. The Water Board shall make all proper arrangements for the sufficient supply of water for use at fires, and for furnishing the same in the most efficient and suitable manner.

15. All services shall be laid by the Water Board from the sidewalk line to the cellar at the expense of the owner. The Water Board may make an estimate of the cost of the owner's part and may demand a deposit for the same before laying the pipe.
Applicants wishing a service pipe laid when there is frost in the ground shall pay the extra expense caused by the frost, on the part laid by the town.
16. Applications for extensions of mains through private ways or grounds shall in no case be granted un- less the owner thereof executes a proper instrument securing to the town the right of permanent occupation, free from any acts of interference that shall affect the safety of the pipe, and securing to the department free right of entrance for purposes of inspection and main- tenance.
