N.Y. Town Law § 209-c: Maps, plans and reports

§ 209-c. Maps, plans and reports. The establishment or extension of an

improvement district shall be based upon a map, plan and report prepared

in such manner and in such detail as determined by the town board and

such map, plan and report shall be filed in the office of the town

clerk. In the case of a sewer, drainage or water district such maps,

plans and reports shall be 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, drainage or

water system, as the case may be, and a report of the proposed method of

operation. 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 supply of water to be used in

said water district is to 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, shall be filed in the

office of the state department of health and the town clerk.
