The Town undertakes to use reasonable care and diligence to provide a constant supply of water at a reasonable pressure to all customers, 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 purposes, and the Town and the Water 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.
A. 
All extensions to the water distribution system owned and maintained by the Water District shall be properly designed in accordance with the latest edition of the Recommended Standards for Water Works, adopted by the Great Lakes-Upper Mississippi River Board of State and Provincial Public Health and Environmental Managers and in strict conformance with all requirements of the New York State Department of Health.
B. 
Owners outside of the Town's water districts may petition for an extension of the water district in order to provide water service to their property or a group of properties. Water district extensions shall be in accordance with the applicable sections of New York State Town Law.
C. 
Any expenses associated with a water district extension, including but not limited to map, plan and report development by a professional engineer licensed by the State of New York, applications to applicable regulatory agencies, and any construction costs associated with the water main extensions, including improvements to the existing water district to provide adequate water quality and quantity, shall be the responsibility of the applicant or applicants.
D. 
Upon completion of construction, all water main extensions, except private water mains, including all service connections from the water main to the curb box, shall be dedicated to the Water District. As-built drawings of the completed installation shall be provided by the applicants to the Department in electronic (AutoCAD) and paper format.
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 that is in any way connected to any other source of water supply not fully approved by the Department of Health for 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 that contains liquids, chemicals, or other matter which, if allowed to backflow into the district system, could endanger the water supply.
The Commissioner, subject to direction of the Town Board, may, if need be, in periods of drought or emergency, restrict the use of water for nonessential uses (such as irrigation, sprinkling or washing cars or other vehicles) to particular hours determined by the district, or to prohibit it entirely. Notice of such restrictions shall be published by the Department in the official Town newspaper. Failure to comply with such restriction shall constitute a violation of this chapter and could result in penalties.
