§ 79-27. Other use of water for construction.

A. 

Persons or corporations desiring to use water for construction purposes other than mentioned in § 79-26 shall make application to the District therefor, setting forth the name and address of the applicant, the object and purpose of the use of water, the quantity estimated to be needed and shall give such other information as the Superintendent shall require. If such application is granted, the supply of water shall be furnished in such manner as the District shall allow, and the water rates shall be as in these rules established, except that there shall be no minimum charge. A meter shall be furnished by the District, for the use of which a reasonable charge will be made by the District, and, where the Superintendent shall deem it advisable, an inspector, appointed by the Town Board, shall be maintained on the work site at a wage fixed by the Town Board to be paid by such applicant. Where water for such purpose is taken from a hydrant, provision shall be made for the protection of the meter and for quick disconnection in case such hydrant or hydrants are needed to extinguish any fire.

B. 

No such application shall be granted unless a bond shall be delivered to the District, approved as to amount, sureties and form by a majority of the members of the Town Board indemnifying and saving harmless the District and the Town Board and the Town of Brookhaven from damages to property or damages resulting from death of any person or injuries suffered by any person by reason of the construction work done for which such water is used.

C. 

The provisions of § 79-26, insofar as they provide for the deposit of money to secure payment of water charges and insofar as they provide for reimbursement of surplus deposit, shall apply to the use of water for the purposes contemplated by this section, except that no deposit shall be required of the state or any municipal corporation or any district, bureau or department thereof where the work is being done by its own employees and where the purpose for which the water is used has been duly authorized, in which event bills for water charges shall be rendered at such time as the Superintendent shall deem advisable.

D. 

The bond under this section shall not be required where the water is being furnished to the Town of Brookhaven or its highway department for work being done by its employees.
