This chapter shall be known and may be cited as "Local Law No.
1 of the Year 2011 of the Village of Hammondsport, Steuben County,
New York."
This chapter establishes and sets forth the rules and regulations
governing the installation of water mains and water supply to persons
and property.
For application in these rules, the following definitions will
prevail:
BUILDING
Includes any structure or enclosure to which water is supplied,
whether attached to realty or not, whether the same is occupied or
vacant, and shall include boats and vessels.
OWNER
Is the record owner of premises supplied with water as found
in the Steuben County Clerk's office pursuant to a recorded deed.
PREMISES
Includes all places to which water is supplied, whether the
same is occupied or vacant.
WATER DEPARTMENT
The person or persons in charge of or responsible for the
furnishing of water by the municipality or any person designated to
act on his/their/its behalf.
All applications for the introduction of a water supply to any
premises or for the replacement and/or modification of any existing
installation or for the extension of any pipe or line for the conveyance
of water must be made in writing to the Village by the owner of the
premises. (See Schedule 1 at the end of this chapter.)
The owner shall guarantee to the Village, at the time of making
the application, free and full access to duly authorized Village employees
or representatives in and to those areas of the subject premises which
are necessarily involved with the supply of water by the Village or
to which Village water is believed to be supplied. Such guaranty of
free access by the owner shall be deemed to be a covenant running
with the land.
Water supplied to consumers outside the boundaries of the Village
shall be on such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the intermunicipal
agreement between the Village of Hammondsport and the Town of Urbana.
