(a) General rule.--A borough may, by ordinance, provide for charging a tapping fee calculated in accordance with 53 Pa.C.S. § 5607 (relating to purposes and powers) if the owner of any property connects the property with a water main constructed or acquired by the borough. The tapping fee shall be in addition to any charges assessed and collected against the property in the construction or acquisition of the water main by the borough.
(b) Refund.--If a water main or part or extension owned by a borough has been constructed by the borough at the expense of a private person or corporation or has been constructed by a private person or corporation under the supervision of the borough at the expense of the private person or corporation, the borough shall have the right to charge a tapping fee calculated in accordance with 53 Pa.C.S. § 5607 and refund the tapping fee or any part of the tapping fee to the person or corporation who has paid for the construction of the water main or any part or extension. The total of the refunds shall never exceed the cost of the system or any part or extension to the person or corporation paying for the construction.
