For brevity and ease of communication, this chapter of the Code
of the Village of Dansville may be cited as the "Village of Dansville
Water Rules and Regulations."
This chapter shall apply to all aspects of the Village water
system inside the Village of Dansville as well as the control, regulation
and maintenance of Village water system property outside thereof.
Every person, firm (for the purpose of this chapter, the term
"firm" includes a limited liability company), association, hospital
and corporation of every type which hereafter makes application for
Village water service, or continues the use of Village water service
after the taking effect of this chapter, and the owners of each parcel
of realty located fully or partially inside the corporate limits of
the Village which is so served by the Village water system, and the
respective agents, independent contractors, heirs, legatees, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns thereof, are and shall be deemed
to have assented and agreed to conform to each and every provision
herein set forth in this chapter. All provisions of this chapter shall
be an implied part of each application and/or contract entered into
by any or all of the above with the Village for Village water service.
The Village will endeavor to provide an adequate supply of water
at an adequate pressure, but assumes no liability for failure to do
so. As may be more specifically set forth in this and other laws,
the Village has and reserves the right to shut off water for failure
to pay water rent, for violations of this chapter, and for the purposes
of repairs, changes, tests or improvements to the system, and to control
water use and consumption in an emergency or when insufficient water
is available. No claim whatsoever shall be valid against the Village
for any such shutoff or any damage or injury arising therefrom, whether
direct or indirect, consequential or otherwise. All properties supplied
with Village water shall be fitted with a suitable check valve, pressure-reducing
device, or other device by the owner so as to fully prevent all damage
and injury that may occur by the sudden shutoff of water service.
No person, firm, association, hospital, or corporation of any
kind, or any agent thereof who is a customer of the Village water
service, or the owners of the real property so served shall allow
or condone the water therefrom to be drawn, taken to or used by the
owners or occupants of other premises not paying Village water rents;
and no such owners or occupants of other premises not paying water
rents shall draw, take or use said water from a premises paying said
water rent. A violation of this section shall, in addition to all
other penalties, result in an immediate shutoff of the water supply
by the Superintendent of the real property involved.
