Whenever the Town of New Windsor shall have
extended its water and sewer mains so as to be accessible to any property,
the property owner shall make connection therewith in accordance with
these regulations within six months of such extension. Both water
and sewer connections shall be made at the same time if the water
main and sewer main are available. The water and sewer connections
shall be of such size as to adequately serve the number and type of
plumbing fixtures or equipment on the premises involved.
All water and sewer mains and all water and
sewer building connections (from the main to the property line) in
public ways will be maintained by the Town of New Windsor so as to
give adequate and proper service.
If, due to a change in the use or due to the
installation of additional fixtures, the owner requests a larger water
and/or sewer building connection, the existing connection shall be
disconnected and abandoned at the expense of the owner. The size requested
will be checked as to adequacy by the Town of New Windsor and the
owner will be required to install the size connection determined by
the Town to be adequate for the changed conditions. Installation and
construction of the larger connection shall be at the expense of the
property owner and subject to the inspection and approval of the work
by the Mayor and Council or its authorized representative.
If the Mayor and Council finds that an existing
water connection is too small to serve the number of fixtures connected
to it, to such an extent that the existing water meter is being run
constantly in excess of its safe-rated capacity, the owner shall be
notified of the situation and will be required to arrange for the
installation of a larger water connection and larger meter adequate
for the service needed. If the owner refuses to correct the situation
after due notice, the Mayor of New Windsor shall arrange for the disconnection
and abandonment of the existing water connection and the installation
of a water service and water meter of such suitable size as he or
she shall determine is necessary; the cost of such disconnection,
abandonment and installation shall be billed to the owner of the premises
involved.
