All plumbing work on customer's service pipes between the
property line and the meter or on the street service connection shall
be submitted for inspection of the Village, and no underground work
shall be covered up until inspected and approved by the Village.
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 source unless specifically approved by the Department
of Health of the State of New York.
In conformity with Article 11, § 11-1114, Village
Law, all work and expenses in connection with the repair, maintenance
and replacement of service pipes, fixtures and appurtenances from
the main to and including the curb box shall be made by the Village.
Uniform service charges shall be made by the Village and paid
by the property owner for repair, maintenance or replacement of the
service line, fixtures and appurtenances when such work is necessary
to stop or repair leaks or breaks or when repair, maintenance or replacement
necessary to prevent leaks or break can be readily done at the time
street work is being performed.
[Amended 5-9-1989 by L.L. No. 2-1989]
Thawing or unblocking of the street service connection from
the main to the curb box resulting from freezing shall be the responsibility
of the property owner. When requested by the property owner, the Village
shall undertake to perform such work, for which a service charge shall
be made, to be paid by the property owner. Said charges shall be made
and collected in the same manner as water rents.
[Amended 12-14-1989 by L.L. No. 6-1982]
Each separate building supplied with water must have its own
separate connection directly with the main, except that two or more
buildings located on the same premises, which are owned by the same
person, may, subject to the written application of the owner and consent
of the Board of Trustees, be supplied through the same connection,
provided the single ownership continues. Hereafter, if the building
or buildings on any premises to be supplied with water are not within
a reasonable distance of the street line, then the meter on the service
to be supplied shall be set near the street line, at a point designated
and in a manner approved by the Board of Trustees, and the costs shall
be borne by the owner.
The water supply to any premises shall not be turned off or
turned on, except in cases of emergency, at the curb, except by an
authorized employee of the Board of Trustees. When the water is turned
off in a case of emergency, the Board must be notified within 24 hours
thereafter. Upon failure to do so, the party or parties responsible
for the act shall pay the sum of $5 for each offense.
