Any owner whose property is located within the water district and connected to the water district water supply may apply for a permit for a separate source of water for either domestic potable uses, irrigation uses or recreational uses. The owner shall make written application to the Commissioner for a permit for the installation of any pump, siphon, distribution system or other facilities or equipment to utilize a separate source of water for either domestic potable uses, irrigation uses or recreational uses. The Commissioner shall issue the permit for use of a separate source of water for either domestic potable uses, irrigation uses or recreational uses, upon such terms and conditions as he may deem appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Part 4, provided that the owner has complied with the following:
A. 
As to all applications pursuant to this Part 4:
(1) 
The owner shall obtain all required permits and approvals from the Westchester County Department of Health.
(2) 
The owner shall comply with all requirements of the law, rules and regulations of New York State, Westchester County and the provisions of this Part 4.
(3) 
No direct or indirect physical connection shall be maintained or permitted between such separate source of water and the public water supply system of the water district.
(4) 
Upon compliance with all of the requirements and conditions of this Part 4, the Commissioner shall issue to the owner a permit, designated as a certificate of compliance, specifically referring to the approved plans upon which said permit is based.
(5) 
No alteration or modification shall be made to the connections to, or distribution lines from, or uses of such separate source of water as set forth in the certificate of compliance, without approval of the Commissioner upon application pursuant to this Part 4.
(6) 
The applicant shall pay a fee at the time of submission of an application in an amount as set forth by resolution of the Town Board in the Master Fee Schedule, which may be amended.
[Amended 9-10-2002 by L.L. No. 8-2002]
B. 
As to applications for domestic potable uses:
(1) 
The owner shall submit to the Commissioner a copy of the Westchester County Department of Health approval and/or permit, together with all plans upon which said approval or permit was based.
(2) 
The owner shall permanently disconnect all domestic plumbing and residential uses from the water district supply. The manner and timing of such disconnection shall be subject to the approval of the Commissioner. If required by the Commissioner, the owner shall submit plans detailing the disconnection from the public water supply. The owner shall pay a fee for such disconnection as set forth by resolution of the Town Board in the Master Fee Schedule, which may be amended.
[Amended 9-10-2002 by L.L. No. 8-2002]
C. 
As to applications for irrigation uses and recreational uses:
(1) 
The owner shall obtain approval of the Commissioner of the design and proposed installation and/or maintenance of the separate source of water for irrigation or recreational uses and all connections to and distribution lines from said source (the "plans") in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of this Part 4 and to protect the water district supply from contamination. The Commissioner may require modifications to the plans, including but not limited to the installation of pressure zone backflow preventers on domestic waterlines.
(2) 
Such plans shall establish that the separate source of water cannot be cross-connected to the water district supply. A separate source of water connected to a closed system will be deemed to meet such a requirement. Any separate source of water which is not connected to a closed system must be located and designed in such a manner as to eliminate the possibility of a cross-connection in a manner satisfactory to the Commissioner. In the event a separate source of water is not connected to a closed system and the possibility of a cross-connection is not eliminated in the opinion of the Commissioner, such separate source of water must be tested for potable water standards in accordance with § 131-71B.
A. 
The owner shall certify the following to the Commissioner each year on the anniversary of the issuance of a certificate of compliance:
(1) 
No modifications or alterations have been made to the connections to, or distribution lines from, or uses of such separate sources of water, as approved by the certificate of compliance.
(2) 
There are no direct or indirect connections to or distribution lines from the separate source of water to the water district's public water supply.
B. 
In the case of irrigation uses or recreational uses not connected to a closed system or a system where the possibility of a cross-connection to the water district supply has not been eliminated in the opinion of the Commissioner, as provided for in § 131-70, the owner shall have the separate source of water submitted for testing to a state-approved environmental lab by the fifth day of each month for coliforms and standard plate count. The owner shall certify to the Commissioner by the tenth day of each month that the water meets all acceptable standards for potable domestic water supply, together with delivery to the Commissioner of the results of such testing.
[Amended 9-10-2002 by L.L. No. 8-2002]
The Commissioner may inspect and test a system for which a certificate of compliance has been issued to determine compliance with such certificate and compliance with any certification given pursuant to § 131-71. There shall be a fee for such inspection as set forth by resolution of the Town Board in the Master Fee Schedule, which may be amended. The Commissioner shall file the results of such inspection and testing with the New York State Department of Health. The owner shall indemnify and hold the town, its officers, employees and agents harmless from any damage or injury which may be caused by or arise out of any entry onto the premises in connection with the inspection of such separate source of water.
