Certain types of groundwater pollution, environmental
dangers or other public reasons may require that property owners obtain
water service from the Highland Water District. Where such conditions
exist, the owner of each house, building or property used for human
occupancy, employment, recreation or other purposes, situated within
the Highland Water District boundaries and abutting on any highway,
street, alley or right-of-way in which there is now located or may
in the future be located a public water main, shall, after an order
of the Town Board, adopted after a public hearing, with notice published
in the official Town newspaper at least 10 days before the hearing,
be required to apply for water service as hereinafter set forth and
connect to and obtain water service from the Highland Water District
pursuant to Town Law § 201.
[Amended 8-11-1982 by L.L. No. 5-1982]
A. Application for water service to any premises not
being served as of the effective date of these rules, regulations
and rates shall be made by the property owner to the Highland Water
District on the form provided by the district for such purpose. A
fee shall be paid on the filing of such application, which fee shall
be set by the Town Board by resolution and amended from time to time.
The estimated total cost, based on time and material, shall be calculated.
A minimum fee, which fee shall be set by the Town Board by resolution
and amended from time to time, for a service connection shall be paid
whether or not the actual time and material exceed that amount. The
fee is for reimbursement to the district for its cost for connection
to the district facilities. Persons requesting a single three-fourths-inch
service line connection or greater shall so indicate on the application
form. The Superintendent shall then determine if service greater than
three-fourths-inch is feasible. The applicant shall be advised of
such estimate and shall pay 50% thereof to the Town Clerk. The actual
cost of the labor and materials required to complete such special
service shall be computed by the Superintendent upon the completion
of the work, and the difference between the actual cost and the 50%
paid when the estimate was given, which shall be the final balance,
shall be paid by the applicant before water service is turned on.

C. The applicant shall, at his own cost and expense,
and in accordance with plans, specifications and schematics furnished
by the Water District, install the service line and the meter. The

service line and all plumbing and fixtures connected therewith. Said
fee, which may increase depending on the number of inspections, shall
be set by the Town Board by resolution and amended from time to time.

paid by the property owner to the district in an amount set by the

A. Appeals.
The Town Board of the Town of Lloyd shall have jurisdiction and power
to hear and make a determination on appeals from compliance with the
standards set forth in this article where such local standards are
more restrictive than state codes. The Town Board shall not assume
jurisdiction over nor interpret or modify any provision of the New
York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (Uniform Code),
nor shall it in any manner substitute for the regional State Boards
of Review with respect to the Uniform Code provisions.
B. Grounds
for appeal to the Town Board. The grounds for appeal shall be limited
to the following:
(2) Restriction
from the achievement of a valid local, state or federal policy.
(3) Physical
or legal impossibility.
(4) Impediment
to the intended objective of the regulations.
(5) Necessity
in the light of viable alternatives which meet the intended objective
of the more restrictive local standards set forth in the Town Code.
The district undertakes to use reasonable care
and diligence to provide a constant supply of water but reserves the
right, at any time after due notice, except in cases of emergency,
to shut off the supply of water in its mains or street service lines
for the purpose of making repairs, tests, inspections or extensions.
No pipe or fixtures connected with the water
supply system of the district shall be connected with pipes or fixtures
supplied with water from any other source nor any apparatus which
may endanger the quality of the district's water supply.
Water service and supply may be discontinued
by the district for any of the following reasons:
A. For the making of a false statement in the application,
for the increase of usage units without notification to the district
or for the tapping of connections in the service line between the
curb stop and the meter.
B. For the willful waste of water by failure to repair
service lines or plumbing.
C. For the cross-connection of pipes carrying water supplied
by the district with any apparatus which might endanger the quality
of the water supply or with the pipes of any other water system.
D. For the molestation, neglect to maintain and repair
or damage to the meter on the premises.
E. For the refusal to the district or its duly authorized
agents or employees of reasonable access to the premises for the purpose
of inspecting, reading, testing, repairing or removing the meter or
of inspecting any service line, stopcock or other facility or appliance
connected with the district's water system.
F. For the resale of water service or water obtained
from the district.
