Section 192. Maps and plans for sewer, wastewater disposal, drainage and water districts  


Latest version.
  • Every petition for the establishment or extension of  a
      sewer,   wastewater  disposal,  drainage  or  water  district  shall  be
      accompanied by a map and plan prepared by  a  competent  engineer,  duly
      licensed  by  the  state  of  New  York,  showing  the boundaries of the
      proposed district and a general plan of the proposed  sewer,  wastewater
      disposal,  drainage  or  water system, as the case may be. If a sewer or
      drainage district is proposed, such map shall show all outlets  and  the
      terminus  and  course of each proposed main sewer or drain together with
      the location and a general description of all  sewage  disposal  plants,
      pumping stations and other public works, if any, and shall be consistent
      with,  so  far  as possible, any comprehensive plan for sewers developed
      and  maintained  pursuant  to  section  ninety-nine-f  of  the   general
      municipal  law. If a water district is proposed, said map and plan shall
      show the source of water supply and a description of the lands, streams,
      water or water rights to be acquired therefor, the mode of  constructing
      the proposed water works and the location thereof, including reservoirs,
      water  purification  or treatment works, water mains, distributing pipes
      and hydrants, and shall be consistent with,  so  far  as  possible,  any
      comprehensive  plan  for  public  water  supply  systems  developed  and
      maintained pursuant to section ninety-nine-f of  the  general  municipal
      law. If, however, the petition shall specify that the supply of water to
      be  used  in  said water district shall be purchased from a municipal or
      other corporation, or any person, then said map and plan shall set forth
      and show only the water mains, distributing pipes, hydrants, reservoirs,
      if any, and location of each.  Before any sewer system is constructed in
      any such district, the town board shall cause a copy of the map and plan
      of the proposed sewer system  and  sewage  disposal  plant  or  proposed
      extension  thereto  to  be  submitted to the state department of health,
      and, if approved,  it  shall  be  filed  in  the  office  of  the  state
      department  of health and the town clerk. The state department of health
      may require profiles to be submitted for any sewers or drains  shown  on
      such map and plan. Such map and plan may be amended with the approval of
      the  state  department  of health, and if approved, it shall be filed in
      the office of the state department of health and the town clerk.
