New sanitary sewers and all extensions to sanitary sewers owned
and operated by the Town will be approved only if there is adequate
capacity in the POTW treatment plant to treat the wastewater properly.
Sewer line and POTW treatment plant "current use" shall be defined
as the present use and the unutilized capacity which has been committed,
by resolution, to other users by the Town Board.
When a property owner, builder, or developer proposes to construct sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers in an area not serviced by the POTW, the plans, specifications, and method of installation shall be subject to the approval of the Town Board, the Albany County Health Department and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, if applicable. 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 Town 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. No new sanitary sewers will be accepted by the Town Board until construction inspections have been made so as to assure the Town Board of compliance with this Part
2 and any amendments or additions thereto. The Town Board may, in its discretion, impose a reimbursement schedule for such owner, builder or developer to address connections by other property owners into said extension.
Plans, specifications, and methods of installation shall conform
to the requirements of the Town Board and the reviewing agencies with
jurisdiction such as the Albany County DOH and NYSDEC.
[Amended 4-10-2013 by L.L. No. 4-2013]
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary sewers, including
street laterals and building laterals, constructed at the applicant's
expense, after final approval and acceptance by the Town Board, shall
become the property of the Town and shall thereafter be operated and
maintained by the Town. No sanitary sewer shall be accepted by the
Town until four copies of as-built drawings have been so filed with
the Town and the Town has approved the submitted drawings. Said sewers,
after their acceptance by the Town, shall be guaranteed against defects
in materials or workmanship for one year, by the applicant. The guarantee
shall be in such form and contain such provision as deemed necessary
by the Town Board, secured by a surety bond or such other security
as the Town Board may approve.
