The City will charge to the property owner the actual cost of installing
the services, including charges for labor, material and equipment

The Water Department uses Type K soft copper pipe tubing from
3/4 inch up to two inches in diameter and pipes in excess of two inches
in diameter and uses cast-iron water pipes AWWA approved. It is requested
that all service lines between the street right-of-way and to a point
inside the building wall at the stop and waste valves be constructed
of materials of the same type as used by the Water Department or as
otherwise may be directed by the Director of Public Works.
A.
The introduction of all service pipes will be made by the Water Department.
The City of Ogdensburg will, in its discretion, tap the main pipe,
furnish the corporation cock, necessary pipes, connection, curb stopcock
and box to the street right-of-way.
B.
All necessary work beyond the street right-of-way, such as excavation,
purchase and laying pipe and backfilling trenches and restoring grassed
area to its original condition, will be accomplished by the applicant.
The pipe just inside the cellar wall of the building must be connected
with a stop- and waste cock.
After the water service line between the street right-of-way
and stop and waste valve inside the owners building has been installed,
the completed work will be tested under City pressure and examined
for adequate and satisfactory installation. Backfilling of trench
will not be permitted unless approval is granted and authorized by
the Water Department.
All service pipes shall be laid at least five feet below the
surface of the ground, and they shall not be laid in the same trench
with any sewer pipe or drain. Water and sewer separation shall be
at least five feet apart unless as otherwise approved by the Director
of Public Works.
All water troughs for pastures and all closets and urinals must
be provided with self-closing valves before being supplied with water,
and in no case shall any faucet except a self-closing bibb or faucet
be placed over a closet, urinal or slop-hopper.
Hydrants and pipes rated as for fire purposes only shall be
entirely independent of and free from connections with pipes used
for any other purpose, and shall be used for no other purpose than
fire purposes.
No service pipe will be permitted to conduct water into any
two or more district premises or tenements unless separate and distinct
curb stopcock shutoffs are provided at the curb, so that any one of
the premises may be shut off without interfering with the other.
A.
No plumber or other persons shall make any extension or addition
to or in connection with or in respect to any of the water pipes or
fixtures without first communicating the same fully and without delay
to the Director of Public Works, who shall thereupon issue a written
permit for water service.
B.
With every permit issued will be attached thereto a report, which
shall be signed by the owner of the premises or his authorized agent
receiving it and returned to the Director of Public Works within 48
hours after the work is completed, setting forth fully the pipes and
fixtures attached or disconnected by him or under his supervision.
C.
The Water Department may cause said work to be re-measured, and in
case it shall appear that the person receiving said permit has made
fraudulent representations or returns as to the amount of work done
under such permit, no further permit will be issued to said applicant
or to any other person for him or in his behalf, under the circumstances,
until all back rates are paid.
Rates for the use of water are due and payable on the first
days of May and November, half yearly, in advance, and with a new
consumer prorate in advance until such day is reached from the day
of tapping, which are payable yearly in advance. Rates must be paid
at the City Comptroller's office during the months of May and November,
without penalty, and all bills unpaid at the expiration of the above-named
months shall be increased by 10% of their respective amounts and left
at the City Comptroller's office during the months of June and December
for collection. On July 1 and January 1 or as soon thereafter as possible,
written notice will be served upon all delinquents by leaving said
notice at the last known address of the owner of the premises, that
unless payment is made within five days, the supply of water will
be cut off. If payment has not been made at the expiration of the
time named in the notice, the Director of Public Works shall cause
the supply to be cut off from the premises. A service fee may be imposed
prior to again turning on the supply.
On all premises into which water is or shall be introduced,
full schedule rates will be charged for all uses, and no rebate will
be made or allowed for partial use of water from wells or other sources.
The regular rates for the use of fountains or jets will be based
upon such use for a period equivalent to 10 hours per day for six
months in each year, and whenever the water therefrom becomes a nuisance
to adjoining property, the supply will be cut off until the evil is
satisfactorily corrected.
An abatement of water rates on account of vacant premises or
fixtures not in use shall only be allowed when the water has been
shut off from such premises or fixtures. Consumers, whose premises
have been vacated, must give notice at the waterworks office that
the water may be shut off and they will not be held responsible for
the water rates until such notice is given (all fixtures for which
the Water Department has stated rates must be paid for or disconnected
from the service pipe). In all occupied premises every fixture, whether
used or not, will be charged for the stated rates and the rates collected
so long as the same shall remain connected with the water pipes. An
abatement shall be made for the number of whole calendar months that
the vacancy shall continue but not otherwise. If the rates have been
paid on account, of which an abatement is due, the amount shall be
refunded or credited upon the bill for the following term. All abatements
shall be approved by the Director of Public Works.
In laying a service pipe for any premises, doing work or furnishing
material for said service and also in furnishing water, the Water
Department shall deal only with the owner of said premises and although
another may pay the tax, the owner of the premises shall be responsible
for the same. Water tax will be regarded as a lien upon the premises
supplied and a change of tenants or owners will not relieve the premises
from the payment of the back bill; water having been shut off for
nonpayment shall not be turned on until all arrearages have been paid.
A.
All owners of premises supplied with water shall keep the service
pipes and fixtures for and upon their premises, which shall include
all pipes and fixtures from the curb stopcock shutoff, in good repair
and protected from frost, at their own expense and they shall be liable
for any damage which may result from their failure to do so.
B.
When leaks occur in the service pipes between the curb stopcock and
the premises being served, they must be immediately repaired by the
owner of the premises, and if not repaired within 24 hours after notice,
the Director of Public Works may cause the same to be shut off until
repairs are made.
No continuous flow of water to guard against frost or for any
conditions shall be permitted. The owner or occupant of any premises
where an unnecessary waste of water occurs shall be notified thereof,
in writing, and if such waste shall not be prevented within 24 hours
from the time when said notice was given, the water may be cut off
from said premises and shall not again be turned on until measures
for preventing such waste have been taken.
Property owners and others shall not permit unauthorized persons
to draw water from the pipes connected with the City waterworks system,
over which they have control and shall be liable for the tax of such
unassessed consumer, and may be deprived of water until the abuse
is corrected and the charge paid.
The use of street washers or sprinklers is only permitted to
the applicant, his agents and employees in front and upon the building,
yard, walk and street to the middle of the street for which the permit
is granted, unless by special permit, and if the water therefrom is
used contrary to these restrictions or is permitted to become a nuisance,
the supply of water may be stopped and all advance payments forfeited.
No person shall open any fire hydrant except by the consent
of the City Manager, Chief of the Fire Department or director of Public
Works or for the extinguishment of dangerous fires, and no person
shall deposit any building material or other articles so as to obstruct
free access to any fire hydrant or in any manner willfully break or
injure such hydrant, nor shall any person in any manner willfully
injure the water pipes or curb stop boxes or defile the water.
No person shall injure any reservoir, pumping station, main
or hydrant, watering trough or drinking fountain, nor shall any person
break or enter the same and draw off or waste or cause to be removed
any water therefrom. In all cases where fixtures or property of the
Water Department are broken or damaged, the party or parties so offending
shall be liable for all damage done.
A.
Standpipes or sprinkler tanks are only intended and permitted for
fire protection, and all such pipes or tanks must be provided with
a suitable valve at the bottom of the same, where the water is let
in, the same to be sealed by an officer or employee of the Water Department.
In case such seal shall be broken for the extinguishment of any fire,
the party shall immediately give notice to the Water Department. No
seal shall be broken for any other purpose or use, nor any tap introduced
into or connection made with said standpipe or tank.
B.
No standpipe or sprinkler tank will be allowed on premises where
the water is not taken for other than fire purposes and in any case,
the Director of Public Works reserves the right to refuse any and
all applications for the purpose.
No person, persons or corporation shall construct, maintain
or extend any water supply to furnish water to themselves, or others,
without the written authority of the Director of Public Works.
No person shall turn on or off the water on any main or service
pipes, reservoir or hydrant, without permission or order from the
Director of Public Works or officials of the Water Department.
The curb stopcocks at the curbline are for the exclusive use
of the Water Department and all persons are forbidden to interfere
with them.
Whenever the water is shut off from any consumer for any reason
and the Director of Public Works shall deem such turning off is not
sufficient prohibition against the further use of water from such
pipes, he may cause the pipes to be severed from the main.
All premises where water is taken may, at any reasonable time,
be inspected by a properly authorized officer of the Department, and
full authority is given the Director of Public Works to order such
inspection whenever he deems it for the good of the service.
In the event of it becoming necessary to suddenly stop the pumps
at the pumping station or to shut off the street mains for the purpose
of making repairs, when there is no time to give notice of such shutting
off and if the water ceases to flow from this or any other cause,
all persons having boilers upon their premises, not supplied from
tanks, are cautioned against danger from collapse and owners of hydraulic
lifts or of fixtures liable to injury from the sudden withdrawal of
water are hereby notified that the City will not be liable and shall
not be held responsible for such damage, in all cases where boilers
are supplied; suitable check, vacuum, and air valves must be applied
to minimize danger from collapsing or water ram.
The City Council reserves the right to attach water meters,
together with the necessary connections to any service pipe, whenever
it may be deemed advisable to do so. Any meter injured by negligence
of the water consumer or by frost shall be repaired at the consumer's
expense. The rate to be charged to users with a faulty meter will
increase the rate to 50% above the flat rate. If a faulty meter is
not repaired after 90 days, this penalty will increase to 100%.
No person shall cause to be removed or in any way interfere
with a water meter, which has been set by direction of the Director
of Public Works, or with the valves and fitting connected therewith,
without a written permit from the Water Department.
In making repairs or in constructing new work, the Water Department
shall have the right to shut off the water, and keep it shut off as
long as may be necessary for making such repairs or extensions, and
no deductions will be made or damages allowed for the time the water
is so shut off.
The Director of Public Works reserves the right to limit the
amount of water furnished any consumer, should circumstances warrant
such action, although no limit may have been stated in the application
or permit for such use; or said Director of Public Works may entirely
cut off the use for any manufacturing purposes or any other use at
any time by giving reasonable notice to consumer of such intended
action.
[Amended 11-14-2016 by Ord. No. 20-2016]
B.
It is the City's option to require offending parties to relocate
their meter to an insulated meter pit on the exterior of their building
at their expense after the third or subsequent violation. The property
owner will bear the full expense of installation and maintenance of
this pit. Furthermore, the pit design and installation shall be approved
by the Director of Public Works or his designated representative.

A.
Billing periods for metered customers.

Enforcement procedures for metered customers. Bills for metered water
consumption shall be payable within 30 days of the date of billing
as appearing on such bill without penalty. After the expiration of
such 30 days a notice of delinquency shall be mailed on unpaid accounts.
In the event of nonpayment within 60 days from the date of billing,
the Department of Public Works is authorized and directed to discontinue
said water service until such payment is made.
C.
Billing period for flat-rate customers. Where water is supplied on
a flat-rate basis, the water service charge shall be due and payable
on the fifth day of May and November of each year and may be paid
for 30 days from that date without penalty. After 30 days, a 10% penalty
shall be added.
D.
Lien of flat-rate charges; collection. In the case of delinquent
flat-rate charges, the proper water charge or aggregate of various
charges for all facilities as provided herein shall be extended on

charges are extended on such roll. The total water charges shall be
added to the general City taxes and all other charges appearing on
said roll, which shall be payable as a part of the total charges.
Said water charges shall become a lien against the respective properties,
upon delivery of said tax roll to the City Comptroller for collection.

Delinquent water meter charges; collection. All delinquent water meter charges, as set forth in Subsection B above, remaining unpaid at the close of a calendar year shall be added to the general tax roll for the subsequent year.

F.
Fine for unreported flat-rate residential or commercial units.
(1)
It is the responsibility of the property owner to verify that all
units owned by him, whether in single-family or multiple-dwelling
residences or in commercial/residential mixed structures, are recorded
by the Comptroller's office and are being billed to the property owner
or his assignee. Failure to report individual billing units for the
purpose of flat rate billing to the Comptroller's office shall result
in a fine of $500 per unit, upon verification of such unit(s) by the
City.
(2)
Notice of such fine due shall be placed on the property owner for
collection within 30 days of notice. An additional 10% penalty shall
be added after 30 days from date of billing. Unpaid fines remaining
unpaid at the close of a calendar year shall be added to the general
tax roll for the subsequent year. Such unpaid fines shall be collectable
in the same manner and at the same time as other delinquent charges
appearing on the tax roll, and such fines, upon being extended on
the tax roll and said roll being delivered to the City Comptroller
for collection, shall become a lien upon such property.
G.
Vacant residential units.
(1)
Flat rate billing for residential water service makes no distinction
with regard to the volume of water used over the course of a twelve-month
period. Therefore, existing units vacant less than 12 months in any
calendar year will be subject to the full annual water (and sewer)
service charge.
(2)
However, where a service is disconnected for an entire structure,
the flat-rate fire protection charge will apply. The fee for a service
disconnect or seal is established at $46 for a disconnect or seal
and $46 for a reconnection of service.

When claims for refunds for water charges are allowable, the minimum annual rate for fire protection, as herein provided, shall first be deducted from total charges paid, and the refund for whatever fraction of a year is claimed shall be computed against the remainder. In no event shall claims for refunds be allowed until the total charges have been paid to the City Comptroller, provided that the owner or owners of such premises have entered into a contract with the City of Ogdensburg as provided in § 215-45 of this Article.
A.
The owner or owners of property outside the corporate limits of the
City of Ogdensburg, New York, may be allowed to connect to existing
