[Adopted 12-14-1979 by L.L. No. 5-1979]
No person shall remove or cause or allow to
be removed water from a swimming pool, cellar, basement or any other
place where the same has accumulated, in such a manner that water
is placed or deposited or enters upon a public or private street in
the Village of Southampton, unless a permit granting permission to
do so has been issued as herein provided.
A person who wishes to remove water as hereinabove
provided in such a manner that water is placed or deposited or enters
upon a public or private street may apply to the Highway Department
of the Village of Southampton for a permit to do so at a specified
time, and the Highway Foreman may issue such permit in an appropriate
case. No permit shall be granted if there is some other reasonable
method available to dispose of such water, nor if such action will
damage or is likely to damage the street involved, nor if such action
will create or is likely to create an unsafe condition. In case of
emergency, the Chief of Police is authorized to grant the permit.
If water is caused to be placed upon, deposited
or to enter upon a public or private street in violation of the provisions
of this article, the Highway Department is authorized to take such
reasonable action as may be necessary to prevent water from being
placed, deposited or to enter upon a public or private street.
