Section 11-1126. Water mains connecting with reservoirs of New York city

A
  proposition may be submitted at a  village  election  to  authorize  any
  incorporated  village of the state of New York to contract with the city
  of New York to take and receive from any of the  reservoirs,  aqueducts,
  conduits,  streams or pipes of the city of New York, including any water
  supply, reservoir, works, et  cetera,  for  the  supply  of  any  public
  institution of said city, a supply of water for the uses and purposes of
  the  said  village,  on  such terms, conditions and stipulations as such
  village and city may deem necessary and to  that  end  such  village  is
  authorized  and  empowered  to  lay the necessary mains and pipes to the
  source of supply, valves, hydrants, supply pipes,  and  other  necessary
  appurtenances  for  the  use  of said water, including its purification,
  without the consent of any board, officer, bureau, or department of  the
  state,  or  any  subdivision  thereof,  and  to  issue  its bonds to pay
  therefor. The connections with  said  reservoirs,  aqueducts,  conduits,
  streams  or pipes shall be made at the expense of such village, and such
  village shall pay to the city of New York water charges or rates in  the
  same  amounts  as  are  charged by the city of New York to persons using
  water in that city. Any such village desiring to take and receive  water
  under  the  provisions  of  this  section  shall make application to the
  proper officer in charge of the water supply of the city of New York  in
  writing,  stating  the  place and manner in which it is proposed to make
  said connections, which said officer in charge of the  water  supply  of
  the  city of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction in the premises,
  to the exclusion of any other board, officer, bureau  or  department  of
  the  state or any subdivision thereof. Provided said city agrees to sell
  and said village agrees to purchase water, it shall be the duty  of  the
  said   officer   to  grant  a  permit  or  authorization  for  the  said
  connections, under  reasonable  rules  and  regulations,  including  the
  installation  of  proper  meters,  or other devices for ascertaining the
  quantity of water thus taken.
