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.
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.
