DPW also maintains water distribution, sanitary sewer and storm sewer main lines.
Water
The Department of Public Works maintains over 100 miles of water line, which range from 4" to 24" in size and approximately 480 fire hydrants. The water supply originates from Canandaigua Lake and travels through transmission lines to the Water Treatment Plant in Shortsville, NY, then to the reservoir on Allerton Hill and the standpipe on South Hill. From those locations underground distribution lines carry the water to individual services to your home or business where it is metered, and subsequently billed to the water customer. The water service from the main to curb box is the Village's responsibility, while the homeowner is responsible from the curb box to the meter (Village owns the meter). If a water service develops a leak due to age, the Village will replace at no cost to the homeowner. However, should the homeowner request that service be replaced or if said homeowner has caused a leak (i.e.: causing leak due to digging), the Village will make repairs and charge for time and materials. A new 3/4" water service to a new home will cost a flat fee of $1,150.
Sanitary Sewer
The Village of Newark maintains more than 55 miles of sanitary sewer and is responsible for the collection system or main sewer lines. Main sewer lines transport sewage to where it is treated, de-watered, and solids hauled to a landfill. The manholes you see in the street are connected to the underground sanitary sewers.
The lateral that branches off from the main sewer line to the house is the homeowner's responsibility. If owner requests repairs or replacement of lateral, the Village will go to the edge of the right-of-way and charge for time and materials.
Storm Sewer
The DPW further maintains more than 35 miles of storm sewer pipe which transports storm water collected through catch basins to the Wastewater Treatment Plant where it is treated and discharged to the canal and other area bodies of water.
