accordance with plans approved by the FISD. The structure shall be installed by
the owner(s) at his expense and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe,
accessible and in satisfactory operation at all times.
J. The FISD may require a user of sewer services to provide information needed to
determine compliance with this Part 2 1. These requirements may include but are
not limited to:
(1) Wastewater discharge peak rate and volume over a specified time period.
(2) Periodic chemical analyses of wastewaters.
(3) Information on raw materials, processes and products affecting wastewater
volume and quality.
(4) Quantity and disposition of specific liquid, sludge, oil, solvent or other
materials important to sewer use control.
(5) A plot plan of sewers of the users property showing sewer and
pretreatment facilities location.
(6) Details of wastewater pretreatment facilities.
(7) Details of systems to prevent and control the losses of materials through
spills to the municipal sewer.
(8) Provide certification that the user is not discharging contaminated water
such as stormwater, groundwater or subsurface drainage to the sanitary
sewer system and that the piping system to convey such waters is
completely separate from the sanitary sewer system.
K. All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to
which reference is made in this Part 2 1 shall be determined in accordance with
the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, published by the American Public Health Association. Sampling
methods, location, times, durations and frequencies are to be determined on an
individual basis subject to approval by the Superintendent. Sampling shall be
carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents
upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and
property. The particular analyses involved will determine whether a
twenty-four-hour composite of all outfalls of a premises is appropriate or whether
a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and
suspended solids analyses are obtained from twenty-four-hour composites of all
outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.
L. The admission in the public sewer of any waters or wastes having a five-day BOD
greater than 300 milligrams per liter by weight, or containing more than 350
milligrams per liter by weight of suspended solids, or containing any quantity of
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 14, 2021
Page 46
substance having the characteristics described in § 215-38D 4D or having a
chlorine demand of more than 15 milligrams per liter by weight or having an
average daily flow greater than 10% of the average daily sewage flow of the
District, shall be subject to the review and approval of the FISD. Where necessary
in the opinion of the FISD, the owner(s) shall provide, at his expense, such
preliminary treatment as may be necessary to reduce the BOD to 300 milligrams
per liter by weight, the suspended solids to 350 milligrams per liter by weight, and
the chlorine demand to 15 milligrams per liter by weight, or to reduce
objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits
provided for in § 215-38D 4D or to control the quantities and rates of discharge
of such waters or wastes. Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information
relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the
approval of the FISD and of any or all state regulatory agencies having
jurisdiction, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said
approvals are obtained in writing.
M. Determination of exclusion of wastes. In determining whether any waste
discharged or proposed to be discharged into any public sewer is to be excluded,
consideration will be given to the quantity, time or times, rate and manner of
discharge, dilution and character of the waste in question, the size of the sewer
into which the waste is to be discharged, the probable quantity of sewage or other
wastes likely in said sewer and other pertinent facts. Minute quantities of a waste
which would be objectionable in larger quantities may be accepted if sufficiently
diluted when and as discharged, or if the quantity discharged is small as compared
with the flow in the receiving sewer; but any permission to discharge minute
quantities of an otherwise excluded waste shall be revocable at any time by the
Superintendent.
N. Pretreatment facilities. At all premises where wastes or substances specified to be
excluded from public sewers by these regulations are present and liable to be
discharged directly or indirectly into said sewers, suitable and sufficient piping
layouts, oil, grease, sand and flammable waste traps or separators, screens,
settling tanks, diluting devices, storage or regulating chambers, treatment, cooling
or other equipment and devices shall be provided. These shall be maintained and
properly operated by the owner(s) of the premises or his agent at his expense to
ensure that no waste or substance is discharged in violation of the requirements of
these regulations.
O. All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to
which reference is made in this section shall be determined in accordance with the
latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage. In
the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be
considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point
at which the building sewer is connected.
P. Each user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited
materials or other substances regulated by this Part 2 1. Facilities to prevent
accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at
the owner(s) or user's own cost and expense. The Commissioner of DEC may
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 14, 2021
Page 47
require that plans showing facilities and operating procedures be submitted for
review and approval prior to construction of the facilities.
(1) Within five days following an accidental discharge, the user shall submit
to the Director and Commissioner of DEC a detailed written report
describing the cause of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the
user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not
relieve the user of any expenses, loss, damage or other liability which may
be incurred as a result of damage to the wastewater treatment facility, fish
kills, aquatic plants or any other damage to persons or property; nor shall
such notification relieve the user of any fines, civil penalties or other
liability which may be imposed by this Part 2 1 or other applicable law.
(2) A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other
prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of a
dangerous discharge. Employers shall ensure that all employees are
advised of the emergency notification procedure.
§ 215-39 5 Discharges from private systems.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged into any public sewer, either directly or
indirectly, any overflow or effluent from a septic tank, cesspool, subsurface drainage trench, bed
or filter or other receptacle storing organic waste.
§ 215-40 6 Permit required to work on public sewers; tampering prohibited; penalties.
A. Connections to, alterations to or repairs to any public sewer or the manholes or
other appurtenances of said sewer system in the FISD shall not be made by any
person without a permit issued by the Superintendent.
B. No unauthorized person shall open the cover of, enter or alter any manhole or
other appurtenance of any public sewer, place or insert in any public sewer or its
appurtenances any foreign material which said sewer or its appurtenances was not
intended to receive nor shall any person damage, destroy, uncover, deface or
tamper in any way with any public sewer or its appurtenances. Any person
violating this provision of this Part 2 1 shall be subject to arrest under a charge of
disorderly conduct.
§ 215-41 7 Building sewer permits; fees.
A. Application and fees.
(1) There shall be building permits for sewers for residential and commercial
service. The owner(s) or his agent shall make application on a special
form furnished by the District.
(2) The application shall state the location and character of the work to be
performed, the person granted permission to perform such work, the time
limit for completion of the work, the general character of the wastes which
are or may be discharged into the sewer in question and any other
pertinent information or conditions. The permit application shall be
supplemented by any plans, specifications or other information considered
pertinent in the judgment of the Superintendent. A permit and inspection

(3) In those cases where a sewer connection charge has been levied or will be
levied, the charge for permit and inspection fee of $200 for one- and
two-family dwellings shall be waived.
B. All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of the building
sewer shall be borne by the owner(s). All building sewers shall be maintained by
the owner(s) of the property served. When a building connection lateral has been
connected with a building sewer, the lateral shall become and thereafter be a part
of such building connection and shall be maintained at the expense of the
owner(s) of the property.
C. No person, other than those working for and under the direction of the
Superintendent shall excavate, construct, install, lay, repair, alter or remove any
building or house sewer, or any appurtenance thereof, within the FISD, if such
sewer is connected or discharged or is intended at some future time to be
connected or discharged, directly or indirectly, into any public sewer of said
District, until said person has a permit secured by the owner(s) (or his agent) of
the property in question for doing such work, and further provided that said
person has been granted a license to perform said work by the State of New York
under the stipulations and requirements of § 215-42 8 of this Part 2 1.
D. Any permit may be suspended or terminated by the FISD on written notice to the
permittee for violation of the conditions thereof or for any violation of the
requirements of this Part 2 1 or for other reasons in the public interest.
§ 215-42 8 Persons authorized to work on sewers; licensed drain layers.
A. Only the following person or persons shall construct, repair, alter or remove
building sewers or make connections therefrom to a public sewer:
(1) Regular forces of or a contractor employed by the FISD.
(2) Regular forces of any public utility corporation while engaged in work
incidental to the regular structures of said utility company and operating
under a permit issued by the FISD.
(3) Any person who shall have been licensed by the State of New York to
perform work of this type during the period provided by the license and
under the conditions of the license. Such persons shall be called "licensed
drain layers," as defined in § 215-36A 2A. All drains and fixtures within
structures shall be connected by plumbers and others in conformity with
the requirements of this Part 2 1 as to what may or what shall not be
discharged into public sewers.
B. Any person licensed as a drain layer shall give personal attention to the work
performed and shall employ only competent persons, who are familiar with this

Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 14, 2021
Page 49
C. Each licensed drain layer shall file with the FISD a performance and guaranty
bond, which shall remain in full force for at least 12 months from the date of
application for a permit as provided in § 215-41 7, in the amount of not less than
$5,000 in form and with surety satisfactory to the FISD. The applicant shall
indemnify the Town of Southold for any negligence or omission of the applicant
or his agents while operating under the license applied for; that the applicant shall
reimburse the FISD for any expense to said FISD arising from any injury or
damage to any sewer or other property of said Town or by reason of any violation
by the applicant or his agents of any requirement of this Part 2 1; that the
applicant shall faithfully execute all work required under the license as granted;
that the applicant shall restore that portion of any street or public place in which

§ 215-43 9 Standards for building sewers.
The following requirements of this section shall apply to any person licensed to do sewer work
and who has a building or house sewer permit to do such sewer work as provided in §§ 215-41 7
and 215-42 8 of this Part
2 1.
A. Old building sewers may be used and connected to a public sewer when serving
new buildings only when they are found on examination or test by the Town
Engineer to meet all requirements of this section. The Town Engineer may
require, where indicated, the uncovering of old sewers for inspection.
B. A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building,
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 14, 2021
Page 50
except that, when two or more buildings are so situated that separate and
independent building sewers for each building would be impractical or impose
unnecessary hardship, the FISD may authorize a single building sewer connection
to the public sewer subject to such terms and conditions as to easement, design
and construction as the Town Engineer may require.
C. No building shall be connected to a public sewer unless the plumbing system of
said building has a soil vent pipe extended to a point above the roof. The FISD
may require that no running trap, main house trap or other device which might
prevent the free flow of air throughout the whole course of the building sewer,
house drain and said soil vent pipe, will be allowed.
D. The building sewer shall be cast-iron soil pipe, vitrified clay sewer pipe, polyvinyl
chloride pipe or other suitable material approved by the FISD. All pipe materials
shall conform to the latest standard specifications of the ASTM as approved by
the FISD. Any part of the building sewer that is located within 10 feet of a water
service pipe shall be constructed of cast-iron soil pipe. Wherever possible, water
service and house sewer pipes shall be laid in separate trenches. Where laid in the
same trench, the water pipe shall be laid on a bench at least 12 inches above the
top of the sewer pipe and at least 12 inches, and preferably 18 inches, from the
side of the sewer trench. Cast-iron pipe may be required where the building sewer
is exposed to damage by tree roots. If installed in filled or unstable ground, the
building sewer shall be of cast-iron soil pipe, except that nonmetallic material
may be accepted if laid on a suitable concrete bed or cradle as approved by the
FISD. No building sewer shall be located within 25 feet of a cellar drain or
groundwater drain unless pipe is of cast-iron.
E. The size and slope of the building sewer shall be subject to the approval of the
FISD, but in no event shall the diameter be less than six inches. The slope of such
six-inch pipe shall be not less than 1/4 inch per foot.
F. In all buildings where the building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the
public sewer, sewage or other wastewaters carried by such drain shall be lifted by
approved artificial means and discharged to the building sewer through a cast-iron
force main. All building drains, whether force mains or gravity lines, shall be of
cast-iron soil pipe from the inner face of the building wall to the point of
connection with the building or house sewer, and all joints, including that with the
building sewer, shall be made gastight and watertight by a method approved by
the Town Engineer.
G. Excavations and laying of building sewers.
(1) All excavations required for the installation of building sewer shall be
open trench work unless otherwise approved by the Town Engineer.
Whenever possible the building sewer shall be brought to the building at
an elevation below the basement floor. No building sewer shall be laid
parallel to or within three feet of any bearing wall which might thereby be
weakened. The depth of the building sewer shall be sufficient to afford
protection from frost and in general such depth shall not be less than three
feet below the finished ground surface at all points. All building sewers
shall be laid at uniform grade and in straight alignment insofar as possible.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 14, 2021
Page 51
(2) Building sewers shall be laid in the following manner: Gravel bedding
material will be required below all pipe and all utility structures. Gravel
bedding shall be placed to the full width of the trench and to a depth of six
inches below the bottom of the pipe invert. Gravel bedding shall be placed
12 inches beyond the widths of a utility structure foundation (base) and to
a depth of six inches from the bottom of the excavation to the bottom of
the foundation (base). After a pipe is bedded the trench shall be filled to
the center line of the pipe with gravel bedding except at the joint. After the
joint is inspected, that portion around the pipe shall be carefully and
thoroughly tamped. From the center line of the pipe to a point 12 inches
above the top of the pipe, the backfill shall be sand, placed by hand and
hand tamped. Above this point, backfill shall be suitable material from
excavation or bank-run gravel. This backfill shall be placed in layers eight
inches deep and each layer shall be compacted with mechanical tampers to
not less than 95% of maximum dry density.
(3) Building sewers shall be located at a sufficient distance from other parallel
pipes to permit alterations or repairs to any such pipes or the sewer pipe
without disturbing the other; they shall be well cleaned inside after laying;
and they shall conform to all reasonable requirements for good
constructions.
(4) The open ends of building sewers, building drains and building connection
laterals shall be kept closed or protected during construction and during
periods when work is suspended in order to exclude from the public sewer
all water or debris which might obstruct, damage or otherwise be
detrimental to the public sewer or sewage works. Abandoned building
sewers or drains shall be likewise promptly closed and sealed off from any
public sewer at the expense of the owner of the property.
H. All joints and connections for or between building sewers, building drains and
building connection laterals shall be made gastight and watertight as follows:
(1) Cast-iron, vitrified-clay sewer pipe, polyvinyl chloride pipe or other
suitable material approved by the FISD shall be gasketed and equipped
with tyton or mechanical joints. The pipe and joints shall conform to all
applicable ASA and ASTM specifications. No paint, varnish or other
coatings shall be permitted on any joint until after the joint has been tested
and approved.
(2) Air testing.
(a) The District shall require the use of low-pressure air testing of
gravity sewers to ensure that the joints are gastight and watertight.
The sewer line under test shall be plugged at both ends. The air
hose shall be connected to a tapped plug to be used for air inlet to
the line. The hose will be connected to portable air control
equipment which must include a shut-off valve,
pressure-regulating valve, pressure-reduction valve and a
monitoring pressure gauge with range from zero to five pounds per
square inch. Air shall be introduced from the air source
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 14, 2021
Page 52
through the control equipment to the pipeline.
(b) Air shall be slowly supplied to the test section, until a constant
pressure of 3.5 pounds per square inch gauge is maintained. The
air pressure shall be regulated to prevent the pressure inside the
pipe from exceeding 5.0 pounds per square inch gauge. When
constant pressure of 3.5 pounds per square inch gauge is reached,
the air supply shall be throttled to maintain the internal pressure
above 3.0 pounds per square inch gauge and shut off or
disconnected from the air supply. The gauge shall be observed
until the air pressure reaches 3.0 pounds per square inch gauge. At
3.0 pounds per square inch gauge, the pressure drop shall be timed
with a stop watch until the pressure drops to 2.5 pounds per
square inch gauge. The time required for this
zero-and-five-tenth-pound-per-square-inch-gauge pressure drop
shall be recorded and compared to the following tabulation.
(c) Time requirements.
\[1\] If the time for the zero-and-five-tenth-pound-per-square -
inch-gauge drop is less than that shown, the section will be
considered to have failed, and the source of leakage must
be located, repaired and the section retested.
Time Requirements for Air Testing
Pipe Size (inches) Time (minutes)
8 or less 5:06
10 6:22
12 7:39
14 9:35
\[2\] Where groundwater level is about the invert of the sewer
line, the air test pressure must be increased 0.43 pounds per
square inch for each foot the groundwater level is above the
invert of the pipe, and the resulting pressure computed will
be used for the starting pressure. The allowable drop (0.5
pounds per square inch gauge) and the time requirements
will not change.
\[3\] All joints in vitrified clay pipe, polyvinyl chloride pipe or
other approved pipe or between such pipes shall be made
with rubber or similar gaskets. Hot poured jointing
materials or cement mortar shall not be approved. Pipe and
joints shall conform to all applicable ASTM
specifications.
\[4\] Any jointing materials, other than those described in
Subsection H(1), (2) and (3) may be used only upon
approval by the Town Engineer.
\[5\] The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer
shall be made at the Y-branch if such branch is available at
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 14, 2021
Page 53
a suitable location. If the public sewer is 12 inches in
diameter or less, and no properly located Y-branch is
available, the owner(s) shall at his expense install a Y-
branch in the public sewer at the location specified by the
Town Engineer. Where the public sewer is greater than 12
inches in diameter, and no properly located Y-branch is
available, a neat hole may be cut into the public sewer to
receive the building sewer, with entry in the downstream
direction at an angle of about 45°. A forty-five-degree L
may be used to make such connection, with the spigot end
cut so as not to extend past the inner surface of the public
sewer. Where street sewers are of asbestos-cement sewer
pipe, the connection may be made with a cast-iron saddle in
the event that no fitting is available on the street sewer. The
invert of the building sewer at the point of connection to
twelve-inch diameter sewers or larger shall be connected to
either match the center lines of such street sewers or be
higher. A smooth neat joint shall be made, and the
connection made secure and watertight by encasement in
concrete. Special fittings may be used on the connection
only when approved by the District.
I. When the building sewer trench has been excavated, and the building sewer
repaired, altered or constructed, and is ready for inspection and connection to the
public sewer, the Town Engineer shall be notified during regular working hours
not less than eight hours in advance of the time when the connection to the public
sewer is planned. The connection of the building sewer to the public sewer shall
be made under the supervision of the FISD, and a record of all said connections
shall be kept by the District. If any person constructs, installs, alters or repairs any
building sewer or drain connecting with a public sewer in the District in violation
of any section of this Part 2 1 or fails to give adequate notice to the Town
Engineer for an inspection of the work, said Town Engineer may order all or any
portion of said work to be uncovered for inspection and approval.
J. All excavations for building sewer installations shall be adequately guarded with
barricades and lights so as to protect the public from hazard.
K. If any person, after proper order or direction from the District fails to remedy any
violation of this section or of any other section of these regulations, the Town
Engineer may disconnect the building sewer of the property where the violation
exists from the public sewer and may collect the cost of making such
disconnection from any person or persons responsible for, or willfully concerned
in, or who profited by such violation of the requirements of these regulations.
§ 215-44 10 Powers and authority of inspectors.
A. The Superintendent and any duly authorized employees of the District, the
Environmental Protection Agency and/or the DEC bearing proper credentials and
identification shall be permitted to enter all properties for the purpose of

owner(s) and the owner(s) shall be held harmless for injury or death to the District
employees and against liability claims and demands for personal injury or
property damage asserted against the owner(s) and growing out of the
gauging and sampling operation, except as such may be caused by negligence or
failure of the owner(s) to maintain safe conditions as required in § 215-38I. 4I.
C. All duly authorized employees and/or representatives of the District bearing
proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter all private
properties through which the District holds a duly negotiated easement for the
purposes of, but not limited to inspection, observation, measurement, sampling,
repair and maintenance of any portion of the sewage works lying within said
easement. All entry and subsequent work, if any, on said easement shall be done
in full accordance with the terms of the duly negotiated easement pertaining to
the private property involved.
§ 215-45 11 Penalties for offenses; disconnection.
A. Any person found to be violating any provision of this Part 2 1 except § 215-40 6
shall be served by the District with written notice stating the nature of the
violation and providing a reasonable time limit for the satisfactory correction
thereof. The offender shall, within the period of time stated in such notice,
permanently cease all violations.
B. Any person who shall violate any provision of this Part 2 1 shall be guilty of an
offense punishable by a fine not to exceed $5,000 or imprisonment for a period
not to exceed 15 days, or both such fine and imprisonment. Each day that any
violation of this Part 2 1 continues and each day that any person continues to
discharge prohibited wastes or substances into any public sewer shall be deemed
to be a separate and additional offense.
C. Any person who fails to cease and desist violation of this Part 2 1 upon
notification thereof may, after the period of time stated in the notice for correction
thereof, be disconnected from the public sewer system. Notice of disconnection
shall be served by the District not less than 10 days prior to the actual
disconnection.
§ 215-46 12 Discretionary monitoring of effluents.
The District may require as a condition to the connection and/or continued use of the District's
sewer facilities that flow-metering, pH-monitoring and suitable effluent-sampling stations be
provided at the owner'(s) expense by industry connected to the District sewer system as required
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 14, 2021
Page 55
by prudent engineering standards.
§ 215-47 13 Severability.
If any section, clause, sentence or provision of this Part 2 1 be adjudged invalid or
unenforceable, such adjudications shall not affect the validity of any other provision hereof, but
all other provisions shall be deemed valid and effective and shall remain in full force and effect.
Part 3 2 Sewer Rents and Charges
Article XV II Sewer Rents and Charges
§ 215-48 14 Purpose.
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 14-F of the General Municipal Law, the Town Board, acting
for and on behalf of the Fishers Island Sewer District (FISD), does hereby establish a scale of
annual charged to be called "sewer rents" for the use of the sewer system within the FISD.
§ 215-49 15 Rents; penalty for late payment.
A. In addition to any and all other fees and charges provided by law, the owner of a
parcel of land served by the sanitary sewer system of the FISD shall pay an
annual sewer rent for the use of such sanitary sewer system, which shall be based
upon an annual charge of $450 for each separate dwelling unit served by the
system. Such annual sewer rents shall be paid in semiannual installments of $225
on the first day of January and June of each year.
B. If such sewer rents are not paid within 30 days of the due date, a penalty of 5%
shall be paid.
§ 215-50 16 Liens.
Sewer rents shall constitute a lien upon the real property served by the sewer system or such part
or parts thereof for which sewer rents shall have been established or imposed. The lien shall be
prior and superior to every other lien or claim except the lien of an existing tax, assessment or
other lawful charge imposed by or for the state or a political subdivision or district thereof.
§ 215-51 17 Actions to collect rents.
The Town Board, on behalf of the sewer district, may bring and maintain an action as upon
contract for sewer rents in arrears, including penalties and interest, or to foreclose liens for such
sewer rents. As an alternative to the maintenance of any such action, the Town Board may
annually cause a statement to be prepared setting forth the amount of each lien for sewer rents in
arrears, the real property affected thereby and the name of the person in whose name such real
property is assessed. Such statement shall be presented to the board or body empowered to levy
Town taxes on or before a date to be specified by such board or body. Such board or body shall
levy the amounts contained in such statement against the real property liable at the same time
and in the same manner as Town taxes, and such amounts shall be set forth in a separate column
in the annual tax rolls. The amounts so levied shall be collected and enforced in the same manner
and at the same time as may be provided by law for the collection and enforcement of Town
taxes.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - December 14, 2021
Page 56
§ 215-52 18 Sewer rent fund.
A. Revenues derived from sewer rents, including penalties and interest, shall be
credited to a special fund to be known as the "sewer rent fund." Moneys in such
fund shall be used in the following order:
(1) For the payment of the costs of operation, maintenance and repair of the
sewer system or such part or parts thereof for which sewer rents have been
established and imposed.
(2) For the payment of the interest on and amortization of or payment of
indebtedness which has been or shall be incurred for the construction of
the sewer system or such part or parts thereof for which sewer rents have
been established and imposed (other than indebtedness, and the interest
thereon, which is to be paid in the first instance from assessments upon
benefited real property).
(3) For the construction of sewage treatment and disposal works with

Amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to a Portion of Red Fox Road in
Mattituck” and
WHEREAS the Town Board of the Town of Southold held a public hearing on the aforesaid
Local Law at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, now

LOCAL LAW NO. 2021
A Local Law entitled, “A Local Law to Amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan
Map to a Portion of Red Fox Road in Mattituck”.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
Section 1. Legislative Intent.
This Local Law proposes to amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to include the
extension of a water transmission main across the Central Drive Spur toward 950 Red Fox Road,
Mattituck SCTM# 1000-106.00-01.00-023.001. Historically, the Water Supply Plan Map
reflects the physical changes in the water supply network since 2000. The property owner,
Jennifer Leuba, has represented to the Town that the groundwater quality at this property is
inadequate and poses a significant concern that requires the extension of public water to the
property. The extension of the transmission main is intended to supply the Leuba property and is
not intended to result in additional pressure in the area.
Section 2. Enactment.
Based on the goals of the Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County Department of
Health Services to provide safe drinking water to the Leuba property, and upon our consideration
of the recommendations of the Town Planning Department, and the public comments taken at the
public hearing, we hereby amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to include the
extension of a water transmission main to 120 Old Main Road, Mattituck.
Section 3.
The Southold Water Supply Plan Map as adopted by Resolution No. 31 on June 20, 2000 by the
Town Board, and most recently amended by Resolution No. 2010-478, is hereby amended to
reflect the extension of a water transmission main to 950 Red Fox Road, Mattituck.
Section 4. Severability.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Local Law shall be adjudged by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of this law
