A.
The Town of Oyster Bay is vitally concerned over the adequacy and
suitability of its water supplies and resources and in the measures
undertaken to preserve the safety and health quality of the uses thereof.
The discharge of waste and other materials into the existing disposal
systems which may eventually reach the levels of obtainable water
resources is a prime interest of the Town of Oyster Bay in the fulfillment
of the public policy of the State of New York as declared in Article
15, Title I, § 15-0105 of the Environmental Conservation
Law. Since water districts have been duly constituted to furnish adequate
and suitable water to the consumers of the Town of Oyster Bay, it
is proper and necessary that said districts, pursuant to § 215,
Subdivision 19, of the Town Law of the State of New York, be delegated
the authority to preserve and contain acceptable qualities of our
water resources. In accordance therewith, all water districts in the
Town of Oyster Bay, established and functioning as special improvement
districts by authority of the Town Board of the Town of Oyster Bay,
shall be empowered, subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth,
to terminate and discontinue water services and supplies to any domestic,
commercial, industrial, agricultural or other nonmunicipal enterprise
or user thereof which had been found by the governing authorities
of said water districts to discharge or permit the discharge of, directly
or indirectly, into the water disposal systems or upon any property
in the Town of Oyster Bay, any pollutants, contaminants or any other
substances deemed to endanger the health, safety and welfare of the
community and its inhabitants.
B.
The termination and discontinuance of water services and supplies
shall be predicated upon a determination of the New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation that said discharge or discharges are
in violation of prevailing laws, rules, regulations and criteria under
Article 15 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law; then
the water district governing authorities shall thereupon seek and
obtain a judicial determination and order from a court of competent
jurisdiction to grant said authorities the right to discontinue or
terminate water supplies.
A.
No person shall open any street, highway, road or traveled way until
he shall have obtained the necessary excavation permits from the proper
authority having jurisdiction to issue such permits.

Excavations or street openings necessary for sewer connections or
installing house sewers and water service pipes shall be made in accordance
with the regulations of the Town Superintendent of Highways, the County
Department of Public Works or the State Superintendent of Public Works,
and the ordinances applicable thereto.
