higher alloy.
E.
Testing.
(1)
All pipes shall be tested hydrostatically for 15 minutes
at a pressure 50% in excess of the pressures to which the pipe will
normally be subjected, but in no case less than 150 pounds per square
inch (psi). Any obvious leaks or ruptured piping disclosed by the
tests shall be repaired or replaced and the test repeated to the satisfaction
of the Village Engineer, Public Works Administrator or their duly
authorized representative.
[Amended 4-3-2000 by L.L. No. 1-2000]
(2)
All pipe lines shall then be tested hydrostatically
for leakage for one hour at a pressure equal to the maximum rate of
pressure of the section of line under test, but in no case less than
100 pounds per square inch (psi). The rate of leakage shall not exceed
25 gallons per mile of pipe per 24 hours per inch of nominal pipe
diameter. Any leaks or defective pipe disclosed by the leakage test
shall be repaired or replaced, and the aforementioned leakage test
repeated as often as necessary until the leakage requirement is met.
(3)
The developer shall accomplish the required tests
on the pipeline by individually testing each component section of
main designated by the Village Engineer, Public Works Administrator
or their duly authorized representative. All water for tests shall
be furnished and disposed of by the developer at his own expense.
Source and/or quality of water which the developer proposes to use
in testing the lines shall be approved by the Village Engineer, Public
Works Administrator or their duly authorized representative.

the contractor shall be in full accordance with the requirements of
the New York State Department of Health and shall be acceptable to
the Village Engineer, Public Works Administrator or their duly authorized
representative.
[Amended 4-3-2000 by L.L. No. 1-2000]

24 hours contact time shall show a minimum residual chlorine content
of 10 ppm in all parts of the system.
(3)
Sterilization tests shall be repeated as often as
necessary, and as directed by the engineer and/or the New York State
Department of Health until the minimum residual chlorine content of
10 ppm has been reached. The chlorine solution shall be thoroughly
flushed out prior to placing the new sections of the main in service.
The developer is cautioned that the spent chlorine solution must be
disposed of in such a way as not to be detrimental to animal, plant
or fish life.

A.
It shall be unlawful for the owner of property or
the user of Village water or both to introduce or permit the introduction
into the Village water supply system of pollution or contamination
of any kind. Whenever cross-connection to other water supply into
the Village system is found or whenever any other condition is found
which presents the possibility of contamination or pollution, the
water supply to such premises and/or other premises from which cross-connection
is made shall be discontinued immediately until the cross-connection
is eliminated or the condition remedied. The Water Superintendent
may permit or require a backflow preventer of pattern and design which
the New York Department of Health approves as reasonably adequate
to prevent contamination, if the Superintendent determines that physical
separation from the Village water system is not practicable or necessary,
or that adequate inspection for cross-connection cannot readily be
made, or that such backflow preventer is necessary because of existing
or possible backflow resulting from special condition or use or equipment.
B.
Any corrective measure, disconnection or change on
private property shall be at the sole expense of the owner of such
property. Any changes required in the Village system outside the property
or between the meter and the supply line or distribution system and
any charges for cutoff or disconnection shall be added to the charges
for water against the premises necessitating such expenditure.
C.
All physical connections which may constitute potential
cross-connection are prohibited unless constructed, maintained and
operated in accordance with the provision of the State of New York
Sanitary Code for potable (drinking) water.
D.
Anyone in violation of this article shall be subject
to a fine for each violation thereof, not to exceed the sum of $250
and/or imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or both such fine and
imprisonment.
[Amended 4-3-2000 by L.L. No. 1-2000]
E.
Any person, except a fireman while on duty for the
use of the Fire Department, opening or tampering with any Village
hydrant, valve or stop cock, without the written consent of the Board,
shall be subject to a penalty.
F.
In the interest of public health, the Village's mains
or service shall not be connected on any premises with any service
pipe or piping which is connected with any other source of water supply
not approved by the Department of Health of the State of New York;
nor shall the Village's mains or service pipes be connected in any
way to any piping, tank, vat, or other apparatus which contains liquids,
chemicals, or any other matter which may flow back into the Village's
service pipe or mains and consequently endanger the water supply.
G.
The Village shall use reasonable care and diligence
to provide a constant supply of water at a reasonable pressure to
customers, but reserves the right, at any time, without notice, to
shut off the water in its mains for the purpose of making repairs
and extensions, and for other purposes.
H.
The Village shall not be liable for a deficiency or
failure in the supply of water or the pressure thereof for any cause
whatsoever, nor for any damage caused thereby, or by the bursting
or breaking of any main or service pipe or attachment to the Village's
property. All customers having installations upon their premises depending
upon the pressure in the Village's pipes to keep them supplied are
cautioned against danger of collapse, and all such damages shall be
borne exclusively by the customers.

service pipe to the main to provide flexibility. All service pipes
shall have a brass corporation stop located in the main and brass
inverted key curb stop and drain with cast iron curb box at the property
line. All joints in service pipes shall be of the flare or compression
type. In lieu of copper, for lines larger than one inch in diameter,
polyethylene meeting specification ANSI/AWWA C901, Polyethylene (PE)
Pressure Pipe and Tubing, One Inch through Three Inches, for Water
Service, may be used providing a meter pit is installed in the right-of-way
and is supplied by a copper or ductile line to this meter pit.
(2)
All service connections to the main water line shall be made in the
upper quadrant of the water line. Minimum cover over the top of the
service pipe shall be 4.5 feet.
(3)
