The Town undertakes to use reasonable care and diligence to
provide a constant supply of water at a reasonable pressure to all
consumers, but reserves the right, at any time, without notice, to
shut off the water in its mains for the purpose of making repairs
and/or extensions, or for any other purpose, and the Board and the
district shall not be liable for a variation, deficiency or failure
in the supply of water, or the pressure thereof, for any cause whatsoever,
nor for any damage caused thereby, or by the breaking or bursting
of any main or service pipe or any attachment to the district system.
All owners having boilers upon their premises which are dependent
upon the pressure in the district mains are cautioned against danger
of collapse or lack of water, and all such damage shall be borne exclusively
by the owner.
In the interest of public health, the district will not permit
its mains or services to be connected directly or indirectly with
any service pipe or piping which is in any way connected to any other
source of water supply not fully approved by the Department of Health
of the State of New York. The district will not permit its mains or
service pipes to be connected in any way, directly or indirectly,
to piping, tanks, vats or other apparatus which contains liquids,
chemicals, or other matter which, if allowed to backflow into the
district system could endanger the water supply.
The Superintendent, subject to direction of the Board, may,
if need be, in periods of draught or emergency, restrict the use of
water for nonessential uses (such as irrigation, sprinkling or washing
cars) to particular hours determined by the district, or to prohibit
it entirely. Failure to comply with such restriction shall constitute
a violation of this chapter.
