All extensions to the sanitary sewer system
owned and maintained by the Village shall be properly designed in
accordance with the Recommended Standards of Sewage Works, as adopted
by the Great Lakes - Upper Mississippi River Board of State Sanitary
Engineers and in strict conformance with all requirements of the New
York State Department of Health. Plans and specifications for sewer
extensions shall be submitted to, and approval obtained from, the
Village Engineer and New York State Department of Health before construction
may proceed. The design of sewers must anticipate and allow for flows
from all possible future extensions or developments within the immediate
drainage area.
Sewer extensions, including individual building sewer laterals to the property line, may be constructed by the Village if, in the opinion of the Village Board, the number of properties to be served by such extension warrants its cost. Under this arrangement, the property owner shall pay for and install the building sewer from the property line to his residence or place of business, in accordance with the requirements of Article IV of this chapter. Thereafter, each property owner served by the extended public sewers will be charged at the full service charge as outlined in Article VII of this chapter. Property owners may propose sewer extensions within the incorporated Village by drafting a written petition, signed by a majority of the benefiting property owners, and filing it with the Village Board.
If the Village does not elect to construct a sewer extension, the property owner, builder or developer may construct the necessary sewer extension, if this extension is approved by the Village Board in accordance with the requirement of § 80-14 above. He or they must pay for the entire installation, including all expenses incidental thereto. Each building sewer installed must be installed and inspected as previously required by the Division. Design of sewers shall be as specified in § 80-17 below. The installation of the sewer extension must be subject to full-time inspection by the Village Engineer, and the expenses for this inspection shall be paid for by the owner, builder or developer. The Village Engineer's decisions shall be final in matters of quality and methods of construction. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the exfiltration test required in § 80-17 below, before it is to be used. The cost of the sewer extension thus made shall be absorbed by the developers or the property owners.

[Amended 8-24-1982 by L.L. No. 4-1982]
All sewer extensions constructed at the property
owner's, builder's or developer's expense, after final approval and
acceptance by the Village Engineer, shall become the property of the Village
and shall thereafter be maintained by the Village. Said sewer extensions,
after their acceptance by the Village Engineer, shall be guaranteed
for one year. The guaranty shall be in a form provided for by the
Village. In the sole discretion of the Village, a completion bond
or certified check may be demanded as part of the guaranty.
No builder or developer shall be issued a building
permit for a new dwelling or structure requiring sanitary facilities
within the Village until such time as a plumbing permit has been issued
by the Division. All new developments must have an approved system
of sanitary sewers.
