All sanitary extensions to the sanitary sewerage system owned
and maintained by the Town and/or district shall be properly designed
in accordance with the latest version of the Recommended Standards
for Wastewater Facilities, as 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 Environmental Conservation and Saratoga County
Sewer District #1 Plans and specifications for sewer extensions shall
be submitted to and approval obtained from the Department, and the
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation before construction
may proceed. If required, treatment approval by the City of Glens
Falls and Saratoga County Sewer District No. 1 shall also be obtained
before construction may proceed. The design of sewers must anticipate
and allow for flows from all possible future extensions or development.
Sewer extensions, including individual service lines to the
property line, may be constructed by the Town and/or district under
public contract if, in its opinion, the number of properties to be
served by such extension warrants the cost.
If the Town does not elect to construct a sewer extension under
public contract, the applicant may construct the necessary sewer extension
if the extension is approved by the Town Board in accordance with
the requirements of this chapter and the New York Town Law. The applicant
must pay for the entire installation, including all expenses incidental
thereto, and shall provide a performance bond and labor and material
payment bond. Each extension must be installed and inspected as previously
required, and the plan review and inspection fees shall be paid by
the applicant to the Town. The installation of the sewer extension
must be subject to inspection by the Department, Town designated engineer
or Town authorized representative, and the expense for this inspection
shall be paid for by the applicant. The Department's decisions shall
be final in matters of quality and methods of construction. The sewer,
as constructed, must pass all required testing before any service
line is connected thereto. The entire cost of the sewer extension,
including inspection, shall be absorbed by the applicant.
All sewer extensions constructed at the applicant's expense,
after final approval by the Department and acceptance by the Town
Board, shall become the property of the district and shall thereafter
be maintained by the district. Said sewer extensions, after their
acceptance by the district, shall be guaranteed for one year by the
applicant. The guarantee shall be in the form of the performance Bond
obtained by the applicant for the benefit of the Town. The performance
bond shall cover all costs and obligations of the applicant to perform
such guarantee work that may be required until certification by the
Town designated engineer that all work is in compliance with the approval.
No applicant shall be issued a building permit for a new dwelling
or structure requiring sanitary facilities within the Town unless
a suitable and approved method of waste disposal is proposed. All
new housing or building developments within a district shall be provided
with an approved system of sanitary sewers. No occupancy permit shall
be issued until the waste disposal system has been completed and inspected
by the Department and "as-built" drawings provided to the Department
by the applicant.
