[Adopted 9-30-1955]
All applications for the introduction of a supply of water into any premises or for the extension of any pipe for the conveyance of such water must be made, in writing, to the Board of Trustees, and if the applicant is not the owner of the premises, the written consent of the owner must accompany the application. Where more than one building or tenant is supplied through one service pipe, in the application for the supply of such buildings, the owner shall be held responsible for all water supplied through said service pipe.
A. 
All connection with the water main shall be made by the Superintendent of the waterworks or his representative at the expense of the consumer, said cost to be as set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees. All service lines from the curb box will be borne by the property owner. All digging of trench or ditch for the above service pipe must be done by the consumer or property owner.[1]

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I).
B. 
Whenever a leak develops in any water service on the private property of the consumer, the leak shall be repaired at the expense of the property owner and inspected by the Superintendent of the waterworks. Additions or alterations in or about any service pipes shall not be made by any person except the Superintendent of the waterworks or his representative.
C. 
No person but the Superintendent of the waterworks or his representative shall turn on the water to any premises.
[Amended 3-12-2020 by L.L. No. 1-2020]
No owner or tenant of any premises supplied with water by the waterworks will be allowed to supply water to other persons or families or leave their faucet or fixtures in such shape or position that other parties may obtain water therefrom. If found so doing, the supply will be discontinued, and the supply will not be restored until all sums due for water have been paid and the additional sum of $50 as a penalty; and, except where special permission is granted by the Superintendent, each consumer must be supplied by an independent service pipe from the main. In case two or more parties are supplied with water from the same service, if either of said parties fail to pay the water rent when due or fail to comply with any rule of the Board of Trustees, the Superintendent shall turn off the water from such pipe until the water rent is paid and the rules strictly complied with. If any water customer fails to pay water rent (and any penalties due) when due, the Superintendent shall turn off the water at the curb until the water rents, and other charges, are paid in full. There will be a $50 turn-on fee payable to the Village prior to turning the water back on. Any unpaid water rents and fees shall, annually upon April 1, be assessed levied upon the Village tax rolls for the real property legally responsible for fees, benefit assessments, and taxation for the water supply system fees and charges.
[Amended 1-14-2021 by L.L. No. 1-2021]
A. 
All water services shall be metered, the meter to be furnished by the Village.
B. 
The homeowner or other user of such meter is solely responsible to keep and maintain the meter in proper operating condition, including protection against freezing.
C. 
All homeowners and other users shall allow for the periodic inspection of all meters, and shall perform any required calibration, maintenance or repair at their own and sole expense. Where possible, Village DPW will recalibrate or repair such meter by appointment. If any meter is broken, damaged, or frozen the owner shall replace same at its sole and own expense.
D. 
If any user or landowner refuses to allow access to the meter, inspections, repairs, or replacements when required, the Village may shut off the water at the curb box or other appropriate location. Notwithstanding this requirement, water shut-off in the event of any emergency does not require proof of damage or fault in any meter, nor advance notice of a cessation or interruption of service.
E. 
Any cessation or interruption of water service due to the need for meter (and related parts and connections) inspections, repairs, or replacements will be restored upon satisfactory completion of such inspection, repair, or replacement, as determined by DPW.
F. 
Tampering with or damaging any meter shall be an offense punishable as set forth in this Code, and any such act also authorizes the Village to shut off the water at the curb box or other appropriate location until proper metering is restored. For purposes of clarity, the Village has no duty to repair, restore, or replace meters that have been tampered with or damaged, regardless of whether caused by owner or any third party, including vandals.
G. 
Illicit connections and non-metered connections shall be considered as theft of services and as theft of utilities and enforced as such as set forth in this Code, as well as under the Penal Law, and other laws, of the State of New York.
[Amended 1-14-2021 by L.L. No. 1-2021]
A. 
Taps at sinks, washbasins, toilets, baths, urinals, sprinklers and for other uses must be kept closed when not in actual use and must not be allowed to leak. If a street washer, sprinkler or hose is found out of order, leaking or used for any purpose other than permitted, the water supply will be cut off without previous notice.
B. 
Water will not be furnished where there are defective or leaky fixtures. When discovered, the water supply may be withdrawn unless repaired immediately and at the expense of the consumer.
C. 
All unnecessary waste must be prevented by the consumer.
D. 
Whenever the DPW shall issue any mandatory conservation of water order (a "CWO"), such as but not limited to drought conditions or other situations where water tables and public supplies are adversely affected, it shall be an offense, punishable in the manner as set forth in this Code, to use, or fail to conserve, water in a manner as required by such CWO. In addition, the Village shall also shut off the water at the curb box or other appropriate location until compliance is achieved and demonstrated, including by inspections if requested or required by DPW. Typical CWO terms may be, for example, to prohibit the filling of swimming or wading pools, the washing of vehicles and homes, or the watering of lawns and landscaping coverings.

C. 
Additionally, any violation of or noncompliance with § 141-5D respecting compliance with and nonviolation of any CWO shall be punishable by a criminal fine of not less than $100 and not more than $250 per offense.
