• (b) the frontage of a lot fronting or abutting on two or more streets along which water mains have been laid and from one of which a connection has been made is the length of the side of the lot that fronts or abuts on the street from which the connection was made;

• (c) notwithstanding paragraph (b), the frontage of a corner lot at an intersection of water mains is the length of the longest side of the lot plus 25 feet, except that where the shortest side of the lot is less than 25 feet in length, the frontage is the aggregate of the longest and shortest sides;
