This chapter shall be known as Local Law No. 6 of 2021 for the
Town of Moreau establishing rules and regulations for the use and
operation of the Town consolidated water district and further setting
rates for capital costs and operation and maintenance expenses. Local
Law No. 6 of 2021 reads as follows:
The quality of the Town of Moreau's water supply and waterworks
is fundamental to the quality of life in the Town. It is hereby declared
to be the intent of the Town of Moreau to provide its citizens with
waterworks that are of the highest quality possible considering operation
and maintenance, materials for construction, water quality, water
quantity, water pressure, fire protection, and overall cost.
It shall be the intent of the Town of Moreau to continually
consider and assess all the immediate and future impacts on the well-being
of the Town and its potable water supply, of all actions taken with
regard to expanding, upgrading, and permitting water distribution
systems.
It shall be the intent of the Town that approval of any new
waterworks either within the Town or within any adjoining municipality
must include, in addition to any and all other regulatory requirements,
an acceptable engineering assessment of how that system could be integrated
into the existing Town-wide system and the positive and/or negative
impacts that any new system could have on the existing Town system,
including municipal and private wells and aquifer supply and quality
concerns.
It shall be the intent of the Town to require that all new or
proposed waterworks be constructed in such a way and of such materials
that they meet the minimum standards set by the Town and that there
is as much standardization in the system as is practicable.
