[Adopted 8-4-1964]
The Mayor, in behalf of the City of Amsterdam, is empowered and directed
to abate and terminate any and all unauthorized use of city water and sewer
facilities and services in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
article.
Any tap in or connection with a city water and/or sanitary sewer main
or line which has not been made pursuant to or in accordance with a resolution
or ordinance of the Common Council of the City of Amsterdam is hereby declared
by this Common Council to be an unauthorized tap-in and connection, constituting
an unauthorized use.
The Mayor is empowered and directed to forthwith serve written notice,
either by personal service or certified mail, upon each and every person,
firm or corporation found by the Mayor to be an unauthorized user, directing
the unauthorized user to disconnect, on or before the expiration of 60 days
from the service of said notice, any and all water and sanitary sewer lines
and pipes which, directly or indirectly, connect with or discharge into a
city line, main or pipe.
This resolution is not intended to preclude any unauthorized user served
with said written notice from applying to the Common Council for its permission,
approval or consent to the use of city water and/or sanitary sewer services;
provided, however, that any such application is made within 20 days from the
date of service of said written notice.
