[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Valley Stream 5-22-1933 by Ord. No. 63. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
No person, persons, firms, corporations or associations
shall string, erect or construct any overhead wires or conductors
to be used for the transmission of electricity, where such wires have
or may have a difference of potential between any wire and ground
in excess of 2,500 volts, or a difference of potential between any
two wires or conductors of the same circuit in excess of 4,500 volts,
over or upon any property or premises and including any street, highway
and public place within the limits of the Village of Valley Stream,
except in the case of series streetlighting circuits where such voltage
to ground or between two wires of the same circuit shall not exceed
10,000 volts and except as hereinafter otherwise provided.
Any wires or conductors for the transmission
or distribution of electricity, having potentials between wires or
conductors, or to the ground in excess of those specified in § 25-l
hereof, shall be deemed high-tension wires or conductors.
High-tension wires or conductors to be in the
future installed in public streets, highways or public streets, highways
or public places in the Village of Valley Stream and/or on and over
any property or premises within the limits of the Incorporated Village
of Valley Stream shall be subject to the reasonable regulation and
permission of the Board of Trustees of said Village of Valley Stream.
Plans and specifications for the construction and installation in
the future of such high-tension wires or conductors, for the purpose
of transmitting or conducting electricity, and all poles, towers and
usual and necessary appurtenances therefor, proposed to be installed
in the Village of Valley Stream, shall be submitted to the Board of
Trustees for their reasonable approval and regulations and permission;
such approval and regulation and permission shall be secured prior
to the commencement of construction and/or installation and use of
such wires, conductors, poles, towers and appurtenances.
Elsewhere than in central stations, substations,
transformer, switching and motor rooms, all circuits entering buildings
where the difference in potential between two wires of the same circuit
does not exceed 4,500 volts or where the difference in potential between
any wires of the circuit does not exceed 2,500 volts to ground shall
be completely enclosed, where they enter buildings, by substantial
metal shields, casings or conduits, which shields, casings or conduits
shall be properly grounded and shall be properly attached to suitable
terminal boxes. Except in central stations, substations, transformer,
switching and motor rooms, circuits operating at a potential in excess
of 4,500 volts between any two wires of the same circuit or of 2,500
volts between any wires of the circuit and ground shall not be introduced
into or attached to any structure.
Any person or persons violating the provisions
of this chapter shall be guilty of disorderly conduct and shall be
liable for and forfeit and pay a penalty of not more than $100 for
each violation thereof.
All ordinances, rules and regulations heretofore
adopted or enacted, which are in any way inconsistent or in conflict
with the provisions of the foregoing ordinances are hereby repealed,
and such repeal is to take effect immediately.
This chapter shall take effect immediately.
