  1. Town Law
  2. Article 12. District and Special Improvements

§ 192. Maps and plans for sewer, wastewater disposal, drainage and

water districts. 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.
