Latest version.
  • a.  The  administrative  head  or  body,  where
      applicable, may contract (1) for the purchase,  from  any  legal  entity
      having  water  available, of any quantity of water for resale within the
      water district on either a wholesale or retail  basis,  subject  to  the
      approval  of the contract by the county legislative body, or (2) for the
      collection, conveyance, treatment  or  disposal  of  sewage,  wastewater
      disposal,  water  quality  treatment residuals, drainage and refuse with
      any  public  corporation  or  any  county  or  town  on  behalf  of  any
      improvement  district and also with any other sewer district, wastewater
      disposal  district,  water  quality  treatment   district   or   private
      corporation.  If  the county drainage district has capacity in excess of
      its own  needs,  the  county  legislative  body  may  contract  for  the
      conveyance   of   storm   water  and  other  waters,  both  surface  and
      sub-surface, from municipalities, districts and  persons,  corporate  or
      otherwise, outside the drainage district.
        If  a  Suffolk county sewer district has capacity in excess of its own
      needs,  the  administrative  head  may  contract  with   municipalities,
      districts,  public  or  private  corporations,  or individuals within or
      without the  district  for  the  collection,  conveyance,  treatment  or
      disposal of sewage including scavenger waste.
        b.  Upon the adoption of a resolution, the administrative head or body
      of a district, with the approval of the  county  legislative  body,  may
      enter  into  such  contracts, as it may deem necessary, with any person,
      corporation or association for the purpose of ensuring that the cost  of
      the  county  district  will  not  constitute  an  undue  burden upon the
      property within such district and may require the  filing  of  a  surety
      bond  or  bonds  or  the  deposit  of cash or securities with the county
      treasurer to ensure the performance of such contracts.
