All extensions to the water system that will
be operated and maintained by the Town shall be properly designed
in accordance with the standards of the American waterworks Association
and in strict conformance with all requirements of the New York State
Department of Health. Plans and specifications for water extensions
shall be submitted to, and approval obtained from, the Town of Seneca
Falls and the New York State Department of Health before construction
may proceed. The design of water systems must anticipate and allow
for the requirements of all possible future extensions or developments
within the immediate area.
Property owners may propose water extension
within the incorporated Town by drafting a written petition, signed
by a majority of the benefiting property owners, and filing it with
the Town Board. The cost of such extensions may be assessed to the
benefited property owners in any manner determined by the Town Board.
No builder or developer shall be issued a zoning
permit for a new dwelling or structure requiring water facilities
within the Town unless a suitable water source is proposed. All new
developments shall be provided with a public water system, unless
otherwise permitted by the Town Board and New York State Department
of Health.
