All physical connections which may constitute potential cross-connections are prohibited unless constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with the provisions of the New York State Sanitary Code, Chapter 1, Part 5, Section 5-1.33.
[Amended 10-21-2002 by L.L. No. 18-2002]
A. 
It shall be unlawful for the owner of property or the user of Village water, or both, to introduce or permit the introduction into the Village water supply system of pollution or contamination of any kind. It shall also be unlawful for any property served by municipal water to connect to, interconnect to, or use for any purposes, water from any existing ground well. Whenever a cross-connection to another water supply into the Village system is found or whenever any other condition is found which presents the possibility of contamination or pollution, the water supply to such premises and/or other premises from which the cross-connection is made shall be discontinued immediately until the cross-connection is eliminated or the condition remedied.
B. 
It shall be unlawful for the owner of property within this municipality to drill or construct a well for the purposes of providing water to the property. The owner of all houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or other purposes, situated within this municipality, requiring water service, and abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way in which there is now located or may in the future be located a public waterline of this municipality, is hereby required, at his expense, to install a water service therein and to connect such facilities directly with the municipal water system with the provisions of this Code, within 90 days after date of official notice to do so, provided that said public waterline is within 100 feet of the property line.
The Superintendent of Public Works, if he possesses the qualifications prescribed by Subpart 5-4 of Part 5 of the State Sanitary Code for a Grade D Community Water Systems Operator, or his agent, who must also be duly qualified as the aforementioned operator, may permit or require a backflow preventer of a pattern and design which the New York State Department of Health approves as reasonably adequate to prevent contamination if the Superintendent or his agent determines that a complete physical separation from the Village water system is not practicable or necessary or that adequate inspection for cross-connection cannot readily be made or that such backflow preventer is necessary because of existing or possible backflow resulting from a special condition use or equipment.
Any corrective measure, disconnection or change on private property shall be at the sole expense of the person in control of such property and shall become a lien against the property if unpaid. Any changes required in the Village system outside the property or between the meter and the supply line or distribution system and any charges for cutoff or disconnection shall be added to the charge for water against the property necessitating such expenditure.
