Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the replacement water mains were non-contributory basic infrastructure or contributory distribution lines
Decisione estratta
The new pipes were still distribution/secondary lines because house and hydrant connections remained possible and their function was still direct local supply.
Motivazione estratta
Classification depended primarily on the municipal water regulations and the water supply plan. Since the pipes served a small peripheral area and retained their distribution function, they were not basic infrastructure exempt from contributions.
