Such pipes can only be connected with  the  mains  by  the   permission  and  under the direction of the board of water commissioners   and in accordance with their rules and  regulations.  A  member  of  the   board  or its authorized agents may at any time enter a building or upon   the premises where there is a supply pipe or pipes, and  make  necessary   examinations or repairs.2. The board of water commissioners may cause a notice to be published   in  the  official  newspaper  of  the  village,  requiring the owners or   occupants of any and all property fronting or abutting on any street  or   portion  thereof  in or upon which any public water main or distributing   pipe is about to be laid or is being laid or has been laid by  the  said   board  to  make  and lay connection pipes to and from the water mains or   distributing pipes in said street or any portion  thereof  in  front  of   each  separate  piece  of property or to repair such connection pipes to   and from the water mains or distributing pipes in  said  street  or  any   portion  thereof in front of or upon each separate piece of property and   where directed by said board, within such time and in  such  manner  and   under  such  inspection  as said board shall prescribe, and whenever any   such  owner  or  occupant  shall  have  made  default  in  making   such   connections  with  said  water  mains or distributing pipes opposite the   lands and premises owned or occupied by him or whenever  such  owner  or   occupant  shall  have  made default in repairing supply pipes connecting   with mains opposite or upon the land and premises owned or  occupied  by   him  as  directed in and required by said printed notice therefor in the   manner and within the time specified, the said board  shall  have  power   and  authority  to  so make, extend and complete the same and the actual   expense thereof, including all labor done and materials  used  in  doing   and  completing  the  same,  shall  be  assessed  by the trustees of the   village upon each separate piece of property opposite or upon which  the   same  shall  be done and completed and shall be a lien and liens on said   premises and lots of land respectively, and the same shall be  collected   in  the  same manner as other local assessments or assessments for local   improvements as provided by the special charter of the  village  or  the   general  village  laws  of  the  state  as  the case may be, and when so   collected the amount thereof shall be paid into the water  fund  of  the   village.  Nothing  herein  contained  shall  be construed to prevent the   financing, in whole or in part, pursuant to the local  finance  law,  of   any expense incurred by the village pursuant to this section.3.  If  the  notice  published  by  the  board of water commissioners,   pursuant to the provisions of subdivision two of this section,  contains   a  statement that the failure to comply with such notice shall cause the   board of water commissioners to discontinue  the  water  supply  to  the   property  concerned, the board of water commissioners may, after mailing   a copy of the notice to the owner of the  property  at  his  last  known   address,  discontinue the water supply within thirty days after the time   for making the repairs which was  set  forth  in  the  notice  that  had   elapsed.
