Town of Williamson, NY Article III Procedures and Responsibility

§ 140-3 Inspection before construction; existing building sewers.

A. The end of the public sanitary lateral sewer must be uncovered and inspected before building sewer construction begins. The location of the lateral may be obtained from the sewer plans on file in the office of the Enforcement Officer. If a lateral sewer does not exist, the Town will construct the lateral sewer from the public sewer main to the property line or easement line. In no case will the owner be permitted to tap into the public sewer main.

B. Existing building sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test by the Enforcement Officer, to meet all requirements of this Part 1.

§ 140-4 Connection to existing public sewer; indemnification; responsibilities of owner.

A. The connection of the building sewer into an existing public sewer shall be made from the wye installed by the sewer district. If no wye has been installed, the district will install one in the public sewer main at a point as close to the property line or the easement line as possible. The property owner will grant any easements necessary in connection with the installation of the wye. The owner shall indemnify the district from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer. The method of connection of the building sewer to the public sewer will be dependent upon the type of pipe material used and in all cases shall be approved by the Enforcement Officer.

[Amended 10-12-1982 by L.L. No. 1-1982]

B. The owner shall be responsible for construction of the building sewer, connection to the public lateral sewer and maintenance of the building sewer once it is approved for operation.
