An application to construct extensions or additions to any sanitary
sewers must be made to the Superintendent on forms prescribed by the
village and must be approved by the village before submission to the
DEC. Two sets of detailed construction plans showing the proposed
construction must be submitted to the village for preliminary review.
Following preliminary review and approval, the applicant must submit
three sets of applications to construct a sanitary sewer, along with
eight sets of detailed construction plans and specifications showing
the proposed construction. Five sets of the applications and approved
plans and specifications will be forwarded with a letter of approval
to the DEC. Evidence of DEC approval, as well as other required local,
state and/or federal approvals, is required prior to final acceptance.
Inspection during construction will be made by the Superintendent.
No sanitary sewers are to be covered until such inspection has been
made. The Superintendent will send a letter to the applicant certifying
that inspection, testing and acceptance have been completed. Acceptance
by the Superintendent does not relieve the owner of the responsibility
to keep the sewer operating in accordance with these regulations.
A complete set of plans showing the final construction, Y or T locations
and other information must be submitted prior to final acceptance.
The cost of the inspection and review will be the responsibility of
the extension applicant.
Extensions or additions to the sanitary sewer system must be
designed and constructed in accordance with the latest revisions of
the New York State Standards for Waste Treatment Works, the Water
Pollution Control Federation Manual of Practice No. 9 Design and Construction
of Sanitary and Storm Sewers, the Wyoming County Health Department
Regulations and ASTM Specifications for Sanitary Sewer Construction.
A.
Connection of sanitary sewer extensions to the public sanitary sewer
is prohibited until completion of the procedures outlined in this
Article.
B.
Existing private or sanitary sewers may be connected to the public
sanitary sewer only when they are found by the Superintendent to meet
all standards set by this chapter. Any testing costs will be the responsibility
of the sewer extension applicant.
Any person installing a sanitary sewer extension must post a
maintenance bond with the village (to be approved by the Superintendent)
for 25% of the full value of the sewer construction cost guaranteeing
the sewer for a period of two years from the time of acceptance by
the Superintendent. During this period, any defects in the sewer or
appurtenances must be corrected at the applicant's expense.
A.
Whenever pipe installation is not in progress, the end of the pipe
shall be securely closed with a tight-fitting cover or plugs. Any
earth or other material entering the main sewer due to operations
of the installer or building owner must be removed at his expense.
All trenches must be protected by sufficient sheeting and bracing.
Extensions of the sanitary sewer system outside of the village
boundaries must comply with this chapter, as well as all appropriate
village, state and federal laws, ordinances, rules and regulations
and other rules and regulations the village may adopt.
