New sanitary sewers and all extensions to sanitary
sewers owned and operated by the Town shall be designed, by a professional
licensed to practice sewer design in the state, 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 designated representative
(DR), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation,
and the Saratoga County Sewer District (if within their service area),
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 Town Board.
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary
sewers constructed at the applicant's expense, after final approval
and acceptance by the DR, shall become the property of the sewer district
and shall thereafter be operated and maintained by the sewer district.
No sanitary sewer shall be accepted by the DR until four copies of
as-built drawings have been so filed with the DR and the DR has approved
the submitted drawings. Said sewers, after their acceptance by the
DR, shall be guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship
for one year, by the applicant. The guarantee shall be in such form
and contain such provision as deemed necessary by the DR, secured
by a surety bond or such other security as the DR may approve.
