New sanitary sewers and all extensions to sanitary sewers owned
and operated by the Village shall be designed in accordance with the
recommended standards for sewage works, as adopted by the Great Lakes-Upper
Mississippi River Board of State Sanitary Engineers (Ten State Standards)
and in strict conformance with all requirements of the NYSDEC. Plans
and specifications shall be submitted to and written approval shall
be obtained from the Superintendent, the County Health Department
and the NYSDEC before initiating any construction. The design shall
anticipate and allow for flows from all possible future extensions
or developments within the immediate drainage area.
When a property owner, builder or developer proposes to construct sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers in an area proposed for subdivision, the plans, specifications and method of installation shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent and the County Health Department, in accordance with §
135-22. Said property owner, builder or developer shall pay for the entire installation, including a proportionate share of the treatment plant, intercepting or truck sewers, pumping stations, force mains and all other Village expenses incidental thereto. Each street lateral shall be installed and inspected pursuant to Article
VI and inspection fees shall be paid by the applicant prior to initiating construction. Design and installation of sewers shall be as specified in §§
135-25 through
135-28 and in conformance with Paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12. The installation of the sewer shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Superintendent, at the Superintendent's discretion. The Superintendent shall determine whether the work is proceeding in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and whether the completed work will conform to the approved plans and specifications. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the infiltration test (or the exfiltration test, with prior approval), required in §§
135-29 through
135-33, before any building lateral is connected thereto. The Superintendent shall be notified 30 days in advance of the start of any construction actions so that such inspection frequencies and procedures, as may be necessary or required, may be established. No new sanitary sewers will be accepted by the Village Board until such construction inspections have been made so as to assure the Village Board of compliance with this Part
1 and any amendments or additions thereto. The Superintendent shall report all findings of inspections and tests to the Village Board.
Plans, specifications and methods of installation shall conform to the requirements of this article. Components and materials of wastewater facilities not covered in this Part
1, such as pumping stations, lift stations or force mains shall be designed in accordance with §
135-22 and shall be clearly shown and detailed on the plans and specifications submitted for approval. When requested, the applicant shall submit to the superintendent and to the County Health Department all design calculations and other pertinent data to supplement review of the plans and specifications. Results of manufacturer's tests on each lot of pipe delivered to the job site shall be furnished, upon request.
The test section shall be as ordered or as approved, but in
no event longer than 1,000 feet. In the case of sewers laid on steep
grades, the test length may be limited by the maximum allowable internal
pressure on the pipe and joints at the lower end of the test section.
For purposes of determining the leakage rate of the test section,
manholes shall be considered as sections of forty-eight-inch diameter
pipe, five feet long. The maximum allowable leakage rate for such
a section is 4.5 gallons per 24 hours. If leakage exceeds the allowable
rate, then necessary repairs or replacements shall be made and the
section retested.
The test period during which the test measurements are taken
shall not be less than two hours.
Prior to testing, the section shall be lamped. Any joint out
of straight alignment shall be realigned.
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary sewers constructed
at the applicant's expense, after final approval and acceptance by
the Superintendent and concurrence by the Village Board, shall become
the property of the Village and shall thereafter be operated and maintained
by the Village. Said sewers, after their acceptance by the Village,
shall be guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship for
one year, by the applicant. The guaranty shall be in such form and
contain such provision as deemed necessary by the Village Board, secured
by a surety bond or such other security as the Village Board may approve.
No property owner, builder or developer shall be issued a building
permit for a new dwelling or structure requiring sanitary facilities
unless a suitable and approved method of wastewater disposal conforming
to this Part 1 is available. All housing construction or building
development which takes place after this Part 1 is enacted shall provide
for an approved system of sanitary sewers, unless the Village Board
shall find, by resolution, that installation of such system of sanitary
sewers cannot presently be accomplished in such instances where one
single building lot is to be improved with a dwelling and the point
of connection to said system of sanitary sewers is located more than
700 feet distant from the nearest lot line. No exception shall be
made if any property is to be subdivided or if more than one dwelling
is to be erected on a lot.
