shall notify the consumer of the premises to which water is being
supplied through such water pipe, of such leak, and require such consumer,
at the consumer's expense, to make necessary repairs thereto
within a period of three days from the date of service of such notice,
in default of which the Water Department under the direction of the
Superintendent of Public Works or his designated agent will make such
repairs and charge the consumer for labor costs and materials. Where
the consumer is not the owner of said premises as the same appears

In the event that a change in ground elevation leaves a service
pipe insufficiently buried or results in the curb box projecting above
the ground or being covered with earth, the consumer must promptly
lower or raise his service pipe and curb box to conform to the new
ground elevation. In case the consumer fails or neglects to make such
alterations promptly, the supply of water will be shut off until the

sump, vat, sprinkler system or other structure which contains liquids,
chemicals, nonpotable water, sewerage or any other matter are hereby
prohibited except when such interconnection is so installed and protected
by a vacuum breaker and check valve or other suitable device so as
to prevent the pumpage, drainage, backflow[1] or siphonage of such liquids, chemicals, nonpotable water,
sewerage or any other matter into the water supply system of the Village

A.
In the event that any water mains owned and maintained by the Village of Farmingdale are hereafter required to be relocated or relaid by reason of the altering, widening or narrowing of a public highway in the Village of Farmingdale, then the Board of Trustees may require the owners or occupants of any and all property fronting or abutting on any street or portion thereof in which such water main is relocated or relaid, to lay new supply pipe between such relocated mains and the property line of such owners or occupants in the manner set forth in Subsection C hereof.
B.
If as a result of the altering, widening or narrowing of any public highway in the Village of Farmingdale the distance between the water mains owned and maintained by the Village of Farmingdale in such highway and the property line of the owners or occupants of any and all property fronting or abutting on any street or portion thereof in which such water main is located is increased or decreased, and the Board of Trustees shall determine that such supply pipes between said mains and the property line of the said owner or occupant shall be replaced or the controls or appurtenances reset or relocated by reason of their becoming improperly located with respect to the highway as altered, widened or narrowed or by reason of being in a state of disrepair or in their failure to comply with the requirements of this article as to type of construction or materials used, the Board of Trustees may require such owner or occupant to lay new supply pipes between such mains and the property line of such owner or occupant in the manner set forth in Subsection C hereof.
C.
In either of the cases specified in Subsection A or B of this section, the Board of Trustees may cause a notice to be published in the official newspaper of the Village, requiring the owners or occupants aforesaid to make and lay connection pipes to and from the water mains in said street or any portion thereof in front of each separate piece of property, within such time, or reset or relocate the controls or appurtenances thereof, and in such manner and under such inspection as the Board of Trustees shall prescribe, and whenever any such owner or occupant shall have made default in making such connections with said water mains opposite the land and premises owned or occupied by him, as directed in and required by said notice thereof, in the manner and within the time specified, the Board of Trustees shall have power and authority to so make, extend and complete the same to the property line of the lands and premises so owned or occupied opposite thereto and in front thereof, and to connect the same with any existing connecting pipes in front thereof, and the actual expenses thereof, including all labor done and materials used in doing and completing the same, shall be assessed by the Trustees of the Village upon each separate piece of property opposite which the same shall be done and completed, and shall be a lien or liens on said premises and lots of land respectively, and the same shall be collected in the same manner as other local assessment or assessments for local improvements as provided in the Village Law of the State of New York. The Board of Trustees may, in addition, where such assessment is not paid for a period of 30 days after the same becomes due, shut off the supply of water to the premises upon which such assessment remains unpaid.
A.
In the event that houses become vacant or for any other reason an
owner wishes to discontinue service temporarily, this may be done
upon making proper written application to the Board, who will have
the service shut off at the curb and the meter drained. The fee for
this service shall be in an amount as shall be set from time to time
by resolution of the Board of Trustees, with a schedule of such fees
to be maintained by the Village Clerk-Treasurer, and the fee for turning
the water on again shall be in an amount as shall be set from time
to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees, and a pro rata rebate
will be made for the remaining portion of the current year, provided
that the number of gallons of water already used has not exceeded
the pro rata proportion.[1]
B.
Water shall not be shut off at the curb except by a Village employee
or a duly authorized agent of the Village.
C.
Consumers whose houses become vacant between October 15 and April
15 in any year must have the water service discontinued. In case a
house or other building is to be closed for a time, especially during
cold weather, the owner or the plumber representing the owner must
notify the Board in order that the meter may be read and the curb
cock closed. In case of failure so to notify the Board and of the
bursting of pipes by freezing or otherwise, the consumer shall pay
for all water that may be thus lost, the amount to be estimated by
the Board and added to the next bill and paid in like manner as the
regular meter charges, together with an additional sum in an amount
as shall be set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees,
with a schedule of such fees to be maintained by the Village Clerk-Treasurer,
to cover the labor and expense by the Village resulting from the consumer's
negligence.[2]
All plumbers shall, within 24 hours after completing any attachment,
connection or alteration, make a true return in writing on a form
furnished for the purpose. Every return must be full and complete
in every particular. Each return shall be filed in the office of the
Board. Any plumber failing to make such a return shall be liable to
a fine not exceeding $250 or 15 days' imprisonment, or both, for each
offense or revocation of his permit for a period of 30 days or longer,
at the discretion of the Board.
No plumber shall leave the curb cock open or allow the water
to run on the premises after making any new connection with the street
mains or after making any new extension or attachments in unoccupied
premises, but where the work is a simple extension or additional attachment
on the consumer's side of the meter, in places where the water
is then in use, the plumber may leave the water on. In cases of new
connection the Board, on notification that the work is complete, will
cause the same to be inspected, and if found satisfactory will have
the meter read and the water turned on. Pipes and connections between
the main and the meter shall not be covered until they have been inspected
and approved by the Board or its representative.
[Amended 1-5-2015 by L.L.
No. 2-2015]
Meters shall not be tampered with or disturbed by any unauthorized
person. In case a meter fails to register or otherwise becomes out
of order, the consumer shall notify the Board immediately. If it be
found necessary to remove the meter, another meter will be loaned
and installed by the Board for use during the time required for testing
and repairs. Such repairs as are found necessary will be made by the
Board. When in the opinion of the Board a meter becomes unsuitable
for further use, it shall be replaced by the Village. In the case
of commercial meters which were originally paid for by the owner of
the premises, all such repairs and replacements shall be paid for
by the owner of the premises. Where household meters become damaged
by freezing or by hot water backing up into them or through other
negligence on the part of the owner of the premises or his tenant
or agent, all such repairs and replacements shall be paid for by the
owner. Repairs and replacement of household meters necessitated by
ordinary wear and tear or by reason of defective parts shall be made
by the Village without expense to the owner. No charge shall be made
for inspection and testing of meter out of order when such have been
duly reported to the Board, but when a meter is found to be out of
order and has not been so reported, a charge in an amount as shall
be set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees, with
a schedule of such fees to be maintained by the Village Clerk-Treasurer,
may be made in addition to the cost of repairing the meter.
If the supply of water to any premises be turned off by the
direction of the Board, it shall not be turned on thereafter without
the permission of the Board.

of Farmingdale, the Board of Trustees may by resolution prohibit the
watering or sprinkling of lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers or gardens
within the Village or within the area outside the Village to which
water is being supplied by the Village, or restrict such watering
or sprinkling to specified hours during any day as may be determined
by the Board. Such resolution shall become effective immediately upon

or upon the posting of such resolution in four public places within
the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale, or immediately against any
person served personally with a copy thereof certified by the Village
Clerk-Treasurer.

offense, and in addition thereto shall be deemed a disorderly person
when such offense is committed within the Village of Farmingdale,

Trustees adopted pursuant to this section, in an area outside the
Village of Farmingdale but to which water is being supplied by the
Village of Farmingdale, shall have his water stopped and shall not
have his water supply turned on thereafter until he shall pay the

Persons wishing to discontinue the use of water must give 10
days' written notice thereof to the Board.

the service shall at the option of the Board be divided and a separate
meter shall be installed for each use, of a size to be determined
by the Board, and the consumer will be charged separately for each
use according to the minimum charges and schedules of rates established
by resolution.
[Amended 1-5-2015 by L.L.

and its location, estimated cost of building and estimated length
of time of construction period, and on receiving permit will be required
to pay a charge in an amount as shall be set from time to time by

to be maintained by the Village Clerk-Treasurer. Such permit will
be valid for a period of time only as stated thereon, but may be renewed
for thirty-day periods thereafter if upon investigation it be found
that conditions warrant renewal. No person shall be permitted to use
Village water for this purpose through a house service either on the
same or from neighboring premises. The willful waste of water or any
violation of this article will be cause for the discontinuance of
the service. If the water is willfully wasted, the Board may cancel
such permit and stop the supply of water. The Board reserves the right
either to make a flat rate for the service or to require a meter to
be installed. If a meter is installed, it must be placed in an approved
box of two-inch planks with hinged cover fitted for a padlock, to
be provided by the Village and so placed that it will not be disturbed
during construction. In the winter the box must be properly covered
with earth or otherwise be made frostproof and must be uncovered at

representative, for inspection or reading. Any violation of the rules
and regulations of the Board will be cause for the removal of the
meter and the discontinuance of the service.

such to be maintained by the Village Clerk-Treasurer, which check
shall remain with the Board as a guaranty against any damage to the
water system, gate boxes, valves or fire hydrants, and to insure payment
for the amount of water used. Any damage to any part of the water
system, gate boxes, valves or fire hydrants caused by the contractor,
his agents or employees will be repaired or replaced by the Farmingdale
Water Department under the direction of the Superintendent of Public
Works or his designated agent and charged to the said applicant and

Village of Farmingdale are being violated, and any charges for damages
or water used or inspector's salary shall be deducted from the
said deposit, and if there be a deficit the contractor shall forthwith
pay any balance to the said Village.

shall be removed. Water shall not again be supplied until the service
installation is properly made and all expenses and damages paid by
the owner of the property.
B.
In no instance will the Board permit a service to be abandoned unless
it is cut off at the main, in which event all expense in connection
therewith shall be paid by the owner of the premises.
