And in some places (e.g. the entire state of Indiana) you have no choice: once
they make the sewer available, you have six months to connect. IIRC the fine
is $100 *per*day* thereafter, and the municipality can also pursue a court
order; ignoring the court order could lead to a jail term for contempt.
