New sanitary sewers and all extensions to sanitary
sewers owned and operated by the Village of Montour Falls shall be
designed, by a professional licensed to practice sewer design in the
state, in accordance with the Recommended Standards for Sewage Works,
as adopted by the Great Lakes - Upper Mississippi River Board of State
Sanitary Engineers ("Ten State Standards"), and in strict conformance
with all requirements of the NYSDEC. Plans and specifications shall
be submitted to and written approval shall be obtained from the Superintendent,
the Schuyler County Health Department and the NYSDEC before initiating
any construction. The design shall anticipate and allow for flows
from all possible future extensions or developments within the immediate
drainage area.
[Amended 8-21-1995 by L.L. No. 4-1995]
When a property owner, builder or developer proposes to construct sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers in an area proposed for subdivision, the plans, specifications and method of installation shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent and the Schuyler County Health Department in accordance with §
117-22. Said property owner, builder or developer shall pay for the entire installation, including a proportionate share of the treatment plant, intercepting or trunk sewers, pumping stations, force mains and all other Village of Montour Falls expenses incidental thereto. Each street lateral shall be installed and inspected pursuant to Article
VI, and inspection fees shall be paid by the applicant prior to initiating construction. Design and installation of sewers shall be as specified in §
117-25 and in conformance with Paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12. The installation of the sewer shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Superintendent, without prior notice. The Superintendent/Engineer shall determine whether the work is proceeding in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and whether the completed work will conform with the approved plans and specifications. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the infiltration test (or the exfiltration test, with prior approval) required in §
117-27 before any building lateral is connected thereto. The Superintendent shall be notified 30 days in advance of the start of any construction actions so that such inspection frequencies and procedures as may be necessary or required may be established. No new sanitary sewers will be accepted by the Village of Montour Falls Board until such construction inspections have been made so as to assure the Village of Montour Falls Board of compliance with this chapter and any amendments or additions thereto. The Superintendent has the authority to require such excavation as necessary to inspect any installed facilities if the facilities were covered or otherwise backfilled before they were inspected so as to permit inspection of the construction. The Superintendent/Engineer shall report all findings of inspections and tests to the Village of Montour Falls Board.
[Amended 8-21-1995 by L.L. No. 4-1995]
Plans, specifications and methods of installation shall conform to the requirements of this article. Components and materials of wastewater facilities not covered in this chapter, such as pumping stations, lift stations or force mains, shall be designed in accordance with §
117-22 and shall be clearly shown and detailed on the plans and specifications submitted for approval. Force main details are covered in §
117-28. When requested, the applicant shall submit to the Superintendent/Engineer and to the Schuyler County Health Department all design calculations and other pertinent data to supplement review of the plans and specifications. Results of manufacturer's tests on each lot of pipe delivered to the job site shall also be furnished, upon request.
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary
sewers constructed at the applicant's expense, after final approval
and acceptance by the Superintendent and concurrence by the Village
of Montour Falls Board, shall become the property of the Village of
Montour Falls and shall thereafter be operated and maintained by the
Village of Montour Falls. No sanitary sewer shall be accepted by the
Village of Montour Falls until four copies of as-built drawings have
been so filed with the Superintendent and the Superintendent has approved
the submitted drawings. Said sewers, after their acceptance by the
Village of Montour Falls, shall be guaranteed against defects in materials
or workmanship for one year by the applicant. The guaranty shall be
in such form and contain such provision as deemed necessary by the
Village of Montour Falls Board, secured by a surety bond or such other
security as the Village of Montour Falls Board may approve.
Where it is necessary to enter upon or excavate
any highway or cut any pavement, sidewalk or curbing, permission must
be obtained from the Superintendent of Highways if a Village of Montour
Falls highway is involved, from the County Department of Public Works
if a County highway is involved and/or the New York State Department
of Transportation if a state highway is involved.
