[Amended 3-9-1982 by L.L. No. 2-1982]
The Village will lay and maintain service pipe from the main to the curb cock. All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection or repair and maintenance of the water service pipe shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the Village from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the water service pipe. At the time application for a permit is made, the applicant shall submit proof that he has obtained a performance bond in the amount of $5,000.
A. 
Service pipe from the curb cock to the meter shall be laid at least four feet below the surface of the ground at all points, shall conform to such standards and shall be of such make and type as the Board of Trustees shall direct and shall be of such as the Village shall deem proper. The minimum size for any service hereafter installed shall, however, be 3/4 inch.
B. 
Service pipes from the curb cock to the meter less than two inches in diameter shall be of three-fourths-inch K copper or three-fourths-inch 200 psi AWWA approved poly pipe. One-hundred-sixty-pound test plastic pipe will be allowed from the curb stop to the house for building service. The pipe must be water service plastic pipe approved by the Department of Public Works Supervisor.
[Amended 1-8-2002 by L.L. No. 1-2002]

D. 
No soldered joints shall be permitted in copper tubing underground.
No tee or other fitting through which water can be taken will be permitted on the service pipe between the main and the meter.
Outdoor meter pits may be installed in special cases on written approval of the Village. Such meter pits must be installed in accordance with Village specifications and at the expense of the property owner.
No branch will be allowed to be inserted in any service pipe without a written permit from the Village. Where branches already exist which are not provided with stop or curb cocks, in case of default in payment of the water rent by any one customer, the main service may be cut off until the back charges are paid. The Village shall not be liable for damages to any other consumer who may thus be deprived of water. Backflow preventers (check valves) must be installed on all new installations.
[Amended 3-9-1982 by L.L. No. 2-1982]
A. 
No pipe or fixtures connected with the mains of the Village shall also be connected with pipes or fixtures supplied with water from any other sources unless specifically approved by the Department of Health of the State of New York.
B. 
A potable water supply system shall be designed, installed and maintained in such manner as to prevent contamination from nonpotable liquids, solids or gasses from being introduced into the potable water supply through cross-connections or any other piping connections to the system.
C. 
Cross-connections between potable water systems and other systems or equipment containing water or other substances of unknown or questionable safety are prohibited, except when and where, as approved by the authority having jurisdiction, suitable protective devices such as the reduced pressure zone backflow preventer or equal are installed, tested and maintained to ensure proper operation on a continuing basis.
D. 
Interconnection between two or more public water supplies shall be permitted only with the approval of the health authority having jurisdiction.
E. 
Cross-connections between an individual water supply and a potable public supply shall not be made unless specifically approved by the health authority having jurisdiction.
F. 
Potable water connections to boilers shall be made through an airgap or provided with an approved backflow preventer. A "backflow preventer" is a device to prevent backflow. "Backflow" is the flow of water or other liquids, mixtures or substances into the distributing pipes of a potable supply of water from any source other than its intended source.
G. 
In the absence of suitable backflow protection, the following appurtenances, appliances and/or equipment shall not be connected to the potable water supply system:
(1) 
Bidets.
(2) 
Operating, dissection, embalming and mortuary tables or similar equipment. In such installations, the hose used for water supply shall terminate at least 12 inches away from every point of the table or attachments.
(3) 
Pumps for nonpotable water, chemicals or other substances. Priming connections may be made only through an airgap.
(4) 
Building drainage, sewer or vent systems.
(5) 
Any other fixture of similar hazard.
H. 
A potable water system shall be protected against backflow and back siphonage by providing and maintaining at each outlet either:
(1) 
An airgap between the potable water outlet and the flood level rim of the fixture it supplies or between the outlet and any other source of contamination; or
(2) 
A backflow preventer, a device or means to prevent backflow or back siphonage, the latter being backflow resulting from negative pressures in the distributing pipes of a potable water supply.
I. 
Where potable water is connected to a refrigerator or any similar cooling device containing a toxic refrigerant, the inlet connection shall be provided with an approved check valve, which is a self-closing device which is designed to permit the flow of fluids in one direction and to close if there is a reversal of flow. Also adjacent to and at the outlet side of the check valve, an approved pressure relief valve set to relieve at five pounds per square inch above the maximum water pressure at the point of installation shall be provided if the refrigeration units contain more than 20 pounds of refrigerants.
J. 
In addition to the foregoing, vacuum breakers and reduced pressure principal backflow preventers shall be installed where necessary.
In the event that a change in ground elevation leaves a service pipe insufficiently buried, the consumer shall promptly lower or raise his service pipe to conform to the new ground elevation. In case the consumer fails or neglects to make such alterations promptly, the supply of water will be shut off until the alterations are completed and a charge as set forth in the schedule of rates established pursuant to § 91-31 will be made to cover the labor and expense by the Village resulting from the consumer's failure so to do.
In all places where steam boilers, hot-water tanks and refrigerating or air-conditioning units are supplied with water from the water system, the owner or consumer must see that the plumber places a suitable safety valve, vacuum valve or other proper device to prevent damage from collapse or explosion when water is shut off. The Village shall not be liable for any damage resulting from the sudden shutting off of the supply of water from any steam boiler or other fixture deriving its supply from the water system.
