Town of Williamson, NY Article VIII Water Supply

§ 173-18 Right to control supply.

A. The town and its Water Utilities Department may, in relation to any or all customers, shut off the water, restrict the supply or change the water system, if necessary, without notice, whenever it is deemed necessary for extensions, alterations, repairs or in case of emergency conditions. Water service to premises outside the town limits may be discontinued at any time.

B. Whenever possible, notification of any change in water supply will be given in advance by the Water Utilities Department, but in any event, neither the Water Utilities Department nor the town, its officers and employees shall be liable for any damage or injury that may occur as a result of a change in supply, as may result from any cause. There shall be no deduction from water billings as a result of a temporary termination or reduction in service.

C. Customers using apparatus depending on the town water supply, including, but not limited to, range and steam boilers, are advised to take precautions against damage when the town water supply is altered and that Subsection B of this section applies to such situations as well. All house and other boilers shall be fitted with suitable check valves to prevent damage or injury from collapse or other malfunction in the event of an alteration in water supply.

§ 173-19 Outside users.

This Part 2 shall not apply to or preclude the making of any contract between the town and any other municipal corporation or water district for the sale of water to such other municipal corporation or water district.
