Md. Code, Pub. Util. § 25-206

(a) This section applies only to a property owner: (1) whose property does not abut a water main or sewer; and (2) who has not previously paid a benefit charge for the construction of the water main or sewer. (b) The Commission: (1) shall allow a property owner to connect to a nonabutting water main or sewer; (2) shall classify the property and impose a front foot benefit charge to be paid by the property owner at the rate and for the same number of years as though the property abutted on a water main or sewer constructed in the year in which the connection is made; (3) when the connection is made, shall place the property owner in the same position as to all charges, rates, and benefits as if the property abutted on a newly constructed water main or sewer; (4) if a water main or sewer abutting on the property is subsequently constructed, may require the property owner to connect to the abutting line and discontinue service from the nonabutting line; or (5) while the property is in the same classification as when the nonabutting connection was made, shall allow the prior imposition of a front foot benefit charge to stand and may not impose a front foot benefit charge for the new abutting water main or sewer.
