Class VI Roads – Fact Sheet

Definition: Road not maintained by the municipality (regardless of condition)

If your property is on a Class VI you may be approved for a water-up hook if these following conditions from the Water Ordinance are met.

3.1.4.1 ln the sole discretion of the Village District of Eidelweiss, connections may be approved for properties on Class Vl roads which meet all other requirements for development of properties on Class Vl roads. Such connections will only be approved if water lines already exist on the road and all other connection requirements set forth in this ordinance are met. Any such approval will be conditioned upon the property owner agreeing to maintain the class VI road to a standard satisfactory to the Village District which will allow the maintenance of the water lines. That maintenance agreement will be recorded at the Carroll County Registry of Deeds. Maintenance of the class Vl road will be at the property owners expense, although owners of properties which are later connected to the water system will be required to share that expense. Failure to maintain the class Vl road to the agreed standard will result in the water supply being turned off. To have water service restored, the full annual fee must be paid, as well as a service reconnecting fee of $100

The road can remain Class VI with the property owner(s) taking responsibility for maintaining the road to the agreed standard.
