The sewer system prints at the length of its ordinance book, and its founding stays honestly open. Town Code Chapter 51 carries the sewer rates and charges on an ordinance line running back to Ordinance 750 of 10 January 1990, with the wastewater tap fee set at $500 by Ordinance 994 of 25 August 1998 and the rate schedule amended as lately as 2024 (treatment rate per 1,000 gallons; inside customers $11.16, outside $12.82 at the cited schedule), and a monthly storm water fee at §51.03(H). Property records in town confirm municipal sewer and water hook-ups as the standing services. The system's founding — first sewer construction, first treatment works — does not stand in any source and is banked as a named gap (GAP-NC3-UTIL-1), settlers the town's ordinance book before 1990 and Watt & Wade's 1956 town history; the gap prints rather than an inferred date, because a town that built water-works in 1879 tempts an inference its sewer record has not earned.
