Board of the Town of Somers, New York, are hereby made a part of the
contract between the Somers Consolidated Water District No. 1 and
each and every party taking and/or using water furnished by said District
or making connections with its mains. The Town Board reserves the
right to make such changes in these rules and regulations as it may,

connected with the mains and/or using water therefrom.

Every consumer or taker of water from the system of said Water
District shall be in all respects bound by and shall be considered
to have assented to the rules, regulations and requirements of said
Board, as herein set forth or as hereinafter amended, as a condition
precedent to the rights to service from said water system.
No person or corporation shall be allowed to use the water of
the Water District for any purpose whatever or to connect with the
mains without first making application therefor and signing a contract
for its use on a form provided. Contracts for water must be signed
by the owner of the property or by an agent holding legal authorization
to sign for said owner. In the case of a signature by an agent, a
copy of the owner's authorization to sign must be filed with

therein. This shall not preclude the inspection and operation of the
fire hydrants by members of fire companies in performance of their
official duties.
