No water shall be sold through a mainline or master meter which serves more than one premises. Submetering is prohibited.
All mains to be connected to the system shall be designed to the standards established by the village and constructed by and at the expense of the applicant in accordance with the standard details and other regulations as may be established by the Village Board of Trustees and agencies having jurisdiction thereof. All mains shall be designed for fire-protection use and shall be equipped with appropriate valve placement and fire hydrants at appropriate intervals. All materials used, the size, method and manner of placing and testing the same and the general arrangement and progress of the work shall conform to specifications established by the Village Board of Trustees. No main shall be connected to the system unless approved by resolution of the Village Board of Trustees.
All mains and appurtenances so installed by individuals, partnerships or corporations shall be properly conveyed to and accepted by resolution of the Village Board of Trustees, together with appropriate easements of such width as the village may specify. Acceptance (or dedication) of a water main, together with appropriate easements, shall be at the discretion of the Village Board of Trustees. The basis for acceptance shall include an inspection of the mains under consideration by the Superintendent, submission of record drawings to and acceptance by the Superintendent; said drawings shall describe the actual piping, pumping, storage and valving, sizes and system configuration. Acceptance of a water main may also require proof that water main construction materials, methods, practices and perpetuity of easements are in accordance with the standards and requirements of the village.
Any existing public water main identified as inadequate or undersized for a given service area shall be repaired, upgraded or replaced at the discretion of the Village Board of Trustees, as soon as practical and when financially feasible, prior to the approval of additional service connections to said main.
Nothing contained herein shall preclude the village from dedicating mains under its control to neighboring municipalities for the purposes of distracting or purveying water.
Any property owner desiring to connect to the water supply system of the village shall sign and file an application therefor on forms supplied by the Superintendent. A nonrefundable filing fee, in accordance with the village's Master Fee Schedule, shall be paid by the owner of the premises for each application. Applications are subject to the provisions set forth below.
At the discretion of the Superintendent, an applicant may be required to provide an engineering study as outlined in § 179-33. Said engineering study shall become and be considered as part of the application as filed.
A. 
After submission, an application may not be modified or amended except upon special permission of the Superintendent. An application may be withdrawn from consideration by the applicant at any time after submission. Withdrawn applications shall be returned to the applicant, and the applicant shall forfeit the filing fee so prescribed in § 179-24. A withdrawn application may not be resubmitted for consideration; a new application with the appropriate filing fee shall be required.
B. 
Application approval. The Village Board of Trustees reserves the right to approve or disapprove of any application for water services. A resolution of the Village Board of Trustees is required prior to any connection to the water system.
All excavation and backfilling for and in connection with new water services shall be performed by the owner or his or her agent at his or her expense. After excavation is complete and is approved by the Superintendent, the service from main to curb stop shall be installed by the village, and the service line from the curb stop to the meter shall be installed by the owner, after which time the entire trench shall be backfilled by the owner under the supervision of the Superintendent. Once a service has been inspected by the village, no modification or connection of any kind shall be made to the service pipe between the main and the meter. All costs incurred by the village shall be billed to the owner and payable prior to charging the line with water.
All materials used, the size, method and manner of placing the same and the general arrangement and progress of the work shall conform to specifications as may be established by the Village Board of Trustees. The size of each service connection required shall be approved for each individual installation by the Superintendent and shall be adequate to deliver the quantity of water required at peak load.
A separate tap and service shall be installed for each premises, and in cases where a main does not extend to or exist where the property is to be served, a main shall be installed, in accordance with the provisions of §§ 179-20 and 179-21 of this article, before the services shall be authorized.
In any case where the location of a structure would require a service line to be longer than 120 feet from the curb stop to the meter, the Village Board of Trustees shall require the owner or his or her agent to provide a meter pit, of a standard design of the village, adjacent to the street line. In addition to the costs prescribed by § 179-24, the owner shall pay the actual cost of materials and labor for installation of the meter pit and that portion of the service line.
Should the service installation so require, an application for a street opening permit on any village street shall be obtained by the owner and the necessary deposit made before the street may be opened. All work of excavation and backfilling shall be maintained in a safe manner. The Superintendent may require such additional safeguards deemed necessary. Permanent and temporary patches of the street shall conform to village specifications. On other than village-owned streets, the owner or his or her agent shall conform to the regulations and requirements of the owner of the street.

Under those circumstances where the sale of water is made by the village to consumers outside the village, the village reserves the right at all times to refuse and/or to discontinue to furnish water to outside consumers. Where water is furnished by the village outside the corporate limits, the following additional regulations and requirements shall apply:
A. 
The owner shall apply for water service as provided in § 179-24, and each of the provisions of such section shall be complied with. In addition, each application shall include an engineering study which shall evaluate the impacts of the proposed connection.
B. 
The Village Board of Trustees will not accept applications for connections to private mains. The village will entertain applications for connection to water mains outside of the incorporated village limits only where said water mains have been properly conveyed to and accepted by the village.
C. 
Private mains shall be replaced and/or extended according to the specifications for new mains, and all related costs will be borne by benefited property owners. No new connections to such mains shall be permitted unless and until said mains have been properly dedicated to the village.
The engineering study will evaluate the existing conditions and the effects of the proposed connection upon the neighboring water users, including an analysis of pressure, flow and fire flow variations in the water main which will result from the proposed connection and compare these conditions to minimum water system standards so established by the Village Board of Trustees and the appropriate regulatory agencies. All proposed special equipment such as pressure reducers, backflow-prevention equipment, pumps, tanks, timers, flow control devices, automatic controls, recorders and special electrical requirements, and the proposed service size will be listed and justified in the engineering study. A drawing clearly delineating the proposed layout, including equipment sizes and a narrative description of the proposed equipment set points and operation, shall also be included. The engineering study shall be signed and sealed by a professional engineer, licensed to practice in the State of New York. Should the engineering study identify the need for water main upgrading prior to or as the result of a proposed connection, the village shall contract for the performance of such work as soon as practical and when generally feasible. No connection to an inadequate main shall be permitted until necessary improvements have been completed. All costs of any aforementioned mitigating measure will be borne by benefited consumers.
A. 
Application required. Persons desiring the use of water for temporary purposes shall make application therefor to the Village Board of Trustees, setting forth in detail the reasons therefor and the exact use which is to be made of the water. The Village Board of Trustees may issue the necessary permit therefor under such terms and conditions as it may prescribe.
B. 
Partial installation; usage charges; deposit required. Those desiring the use of water for building construction from a permanent service partially installed may obtain permission therefor from the Superintendent for connection, under such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the Superintendent. Charges for such temporary service as well as water consumed shall be billed accordingly. The Superintendent shall immediately discontinue such temporary service at any time the water is being wasted. Such temporary service shall be metered and the applicant shall make a deposit in the amount of the cost of the meter and estimated usage. The deposit may be refunded upon termination of the temporary service, less the costs for installation, removal and testing of the meter and less any cost of water consumed.
