A.
New sanitary sewers and all extensions to sanitary sewers owned and
operated by the Village shall be designed, by a professional licensed
to practice sewer design in the State, in accordance with the Recommended
standards for Sewage Works, as adopted by the Great Lakes —
Upper Mississippi River Board of State Sanitary Engineers ("Ten State
standards"), and in strict conformance with all requirements of the
NYSDEC. Plans and specifications shall be submitted to, and written
approval shall be obtained from, the Director of Public Works, the
NYS Health Department, and the NYSDEC, before initiating any construction.
The design shall anticipate and allow for flows from all possible
future extensions or developments within the immediate drainage area.
B.
If, however, there is inadequate capacity in any sewer which would
convey the wastewater or if there is insufficient capacity in the
POTW treatment plant to treat the wastewater properly, the application
shall be denied. Sewer line and POTW treatment plant current use shall
be defined as the present use and the unutilized use which has been
committed, by resolution, to other users by the Village Board.
A.
When a property owner, builder, or developer proposes to construct sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers in an area proposed for subdivision, the plans, specifications, and method of installation shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works, and the NYS Health Department, in accordance with § 158-29. Said property owner, builder, or developer shall pay for the entire installation, including a proportionate share of the treatment plant, intercepting or trunk sewers, pumping stations, force mains, and all other Village expenses incidental thereto. Each street lateral shall be installed and inspected pursuant to Article VI, and inspection fees shall be paid by the applicant prior to initiating construction. Design and installation of sewers shall be as specified in the Village of Penn Yan's Design and Construction standards for Land Development document. The installation of the sewer shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Director of Public Works, without prior notice. The Director of Public Works shall determine whether the work is proceeding in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and whether the completed work will conform with the approved plans and specifications. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the infiltration test (or the exfiltation test, with prior approval) before any building lateral is connected thereto. The Director of Public Works shall be notified 30 days in advance of the start of any construction actions so that such inspection frequencies and procedures, as may be necessary or required, may be established. No new sanitary sewers will be accepted by the Village Board until such construction inspections have been made so as to assure the Village Board of compliance with this chapter and any amendments or additions thereto. The Director of Public Works has the authority to require such excavation as necessary to inspect any installed facilities if the facilities were covered or otherwise backfilled before they were inspected so as to permit inspection of the construction. The Director of Public Works shall report all findings of inspections and tests to the Village Board.
B.
Plans, specifications, and methods of installation shall conform to the requirements of this article. Components and materials of wastewater facilities not covered in this chapter, such as pumping stations, lift stations, or force mains, shall be designed in accordance with § 158-29, and shall be clearly shown and detailed on the plans and specifications submitted for approval. When requested, the applicant shall submit, to the Director of Public Works and to the NYS Health Department, all design calculations and other pertinent data to supplement review of the plans and specifications. Results of manufacturer's tests on each lot of pipe delivered to the job site shall also be furnished, upon request.
Force mains serving sewage-lifting devices, such as grinder pumps and pump stations, shall be designed in accordance with § 158-29.
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary sewers constructed
at the applicant's expense, after final approval and acceptance
by the Director of Public Works and concurrence by the Village Board,
shall become the property of the Village, and shall thereafter be
operated and maintained by the Village. No sanitary sewer shall be
accepted by the Village until four copies of as-built drawings have
been so filed with the Director of Public Works and the Director of
Public Works has approved the submitted drawings. Said sewers, after
their acceptance by the Village, shall be guaranteed against defects
in materials or workmanship for one year by the applicant. The guarantee
shall be in such form and contain such provision as deemed necessary
by the Village Board, secured by a surety bond or such other security
as the Village Board may approve.
A.
All contractors engaged in connecting house laterals with sanitary
sewers, who perform any work within the right-of-way of any highway,
shall file a bond with the Village Clerk to indemnify the Village
against loss, cost, damage or expense sustained or recovered on account
of any negligence, omission or act of the applicant for such a permit,
or any of his or their agents, arising or resulting directly or indirectly
by reason of such permit or consent, or of any act, construction or
excavation done, made or permitted under authority of such permit
or consent. All bonds shall contain a clause that permits given by
the Village (Board) may be revoked at any time for just cause.

The minimum insurance limits stated above shall be subject to periodic
review by the Village Board and adjustments made, by resolution, as

Where it is necessary to enter upon or excavate any highway or cut
any pavement, sidewalk or curbing, permission must be obtained from
the Street Superintendent if a Village highway is involved, from the
County Highway Superintendent if a county highway is involved, and/or
the New York State Department of Transportation if a state highway
is involved.
