N.Y. Transportation Corporations Law § 121: Duty to supply sewage-works facilities

§ 121. Duty to supply sewage-works facilities. A sewage-works

corporation shall supply each city, town, village or other municipal

area or district wherein such corporation operates, and the inhabitants

therein, with facilities or make provision for the collection, treatment

and disposal of sewage at fair, reasonable and adequate rates agreed to

between the corporation and the local governing body or bodies, and, in

addition, in the county of Suffolk, the county sewer agency,

notwithstanding the provisions of any general, special or local law.

Rates shall be reviewable at intervals of not more than five years or at

any time by petition of the corporation or motion by the local governing

body on written notice after a period of ninety days. The petition of a

corporation shall be determined within ninety days of its filing, and in

the event a determination is not rendered within such period of time,

the petition shall be deemed approved. The local governing body of a

city or village, or of a county or town on behalf of a sewer district or

for a special sewer improvement shall have the power to contract with a

sewage-works corporation for collection, treatment or disposal of

sewage. No contract for such services shall be executed for a period

greater than ten years.
