[Amended 2-16-2012 by L.L. No. 2-2012]
The Village Superintendant may, upon receipt of a written request, grant a variance from any of the prohibitions of the use of water as prescribed herein when, in his/her opinion, such a variance would be in the general public interest and would not unnecessarily endanger the public health and safety; and in such event, the fee to the Village therefor will be as set forth on the Village of Dryden Fee Schedule, which Fee Schedule may be established by resolution and thereafter amended from time to time by resolution of the Village Board of Trustees.
During a Stage I or Stage II water emergency as set forth herein, no new water supply resource or facility may be constructed or developed without written approval from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation or the written approval of the Board of Trustees. This prohibition shall include but not be limited to the impoundment of any stream, creek, reservoir or other surface body of water, the creation or development of any water reservoir and the construction of any well.
