[Adopted 8-15-1951 (Ch. II, § 3, of the Town Compilation)]
In order to preserve existing waterways, brooks and streams
for natural runoff of surface stormwater, a building line on each
side of all waterways, brooks and streams in Windsor Locks is hereby
established to be 15 feet from the normal water line of such waterways,
brooks and streams. No building, filling, or permanent obstruction
or encroachment shall be placed within said building line unless permission
is granted in writing by the Board of Selectmen or a majority of them.
Anyone violating this article shall be fined not more than $25.
Each day of such violation shall constitute a separate offense.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent any owner
from building a dam on his own land for the purposes of making a pond,
generating electricity and building any buildings necessary for those
purposes.
