New sanitary sewers and all extensions to sanitary sewers owned
and operated by the Village shall be designed by a professional licensed
to practice engineering in New York State in accordance with Ten States
Standards and the Development Regulations, as applicable, 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 NYSDEC, and any other regulatory agencies
with jurisdiction before initiating any construction. The design shall
anticipate and allow for flows from all possible future extensions
or developments within the immediate drainage area. If, however, there
is inadequate capacity in any sewer which would convey the wastewater
or if there is insufficient capacity in the POTW treatment plant to
treat the wastewater properly, the application shall be denied. Sewer
line and POTW treatment plant current use shall be defined as the
present use and the unutilized use which has been committed, by resolution,
to other users by the Village Board.
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 in accordance with §
46-27. Said property owner, builder, or developer shall obtain all necessary permits from the Village, including highway, water, and sewer departments and/or any other agency who may have control over any work prior to the start of construction and pay for the entire installation, including intercepting or trunk sewers, pumping stations, force mains, and all other Village expenses incidental thereto. Each street lateral shall be installed and inspected pursuant to Article
VI of this Part
1, and inspection fees shall be paid by the applicant prior to initiating construction. Design and installation of sewers shall be as specified in this article and in accordance with the Development Regulations, as applicable. The installation of the sewer shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Superintendent, without prior notice. The Superintendent shall determine whether the work is proceeding in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and whether the completed work will conform with the approved plans and specifications. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the infiltration test (or the exfiltration test, with prior approval) required in §
46-33, before any building lateral is connected thereto. The Superintendent shall be notified 30 days in advance of the start of any construction actions, and a preconstruction meeting held in accordance with the Development Regulations, 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 has the authority to require such excavation as necessary to inspect any installed facilities if the facilities were covered or otherwise backfilled before they were inspected so as to permit inspection of the construction. The Superintendent shall report all findings of inspections and tests to the Village Board. Any defective work shall be made good and any unsuitable materials that may have been previously overlooked by the Superintendent shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the property owner, builder, or developer. If the work or any part thereof shall be found defective at any time before the final acceptance of the project, the defect shall be made good in a manner satisfactory to the Superintendent at the expense of the property owner, builder, or developer.
Plans, specifications, and methods of installation shall conform to the requirements of this article and the Development Regulations. 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 this article, and shall be clearly shown and detailed on the plans and specifications submitted for approval. Force main details are covered in §§
46-34 and
46-35. When requested, the applicant shall submit to the Superintendent and to the County Public 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 also be furnished, upon request.
Design and installation of new and replacement of existing gravity
and pressure sewers shall be in accordance with the Development Regulations.
Cleanouts for low-pressure sewers shall be in accordance with
the Development Regulations.
Design of new and replacement of existing manholes shall be
in accordance with the Development Regulations and submitted to the
Superintendent for approval prior to placement.
All new sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers or
replacement of existing sanitary sewers, including manholes, shall
satisfy requirements of a final infiltration/exfiltration test (including,
but not limited to, water testing, low-pressure air testing, or vacuum
testing) in accordance with the Development Regulations before they
will be approved and wastewater flow permitted by the Village.
New force mains or extensions to force mains or replacement
of existing force mains serving sewage lifting devices, such as grinder
pumps and pump stations, shall be designed in accordance with the
Development Regulations.
All force mains shall be subjected to testing in accordance
with the Development Regulations.
New sewage lift stations or replacement of existing sewage lift
stations shall be designed and installed in accordance with the Development
Regulations.
All persons engaged in constructing sanitary sewers or extensions
to sanitary sewers and associated street laterals within the right-of-way
of any highway within the Village or on or across any Village-owned
property shall provide surety to the Village against loss, cost, damage
or expense sustained or recovered on account of any negligence, omission
or act of the applicant for such a permit, or any of his or their
agents, arising or resulting directly or indirectly by reason of such
permit or consent, or of any act, construction or excavation done,
made or permitted under authority of such permit or consent. The value
and approval of the surety shall be in conformance with the Development
Regulations.
