WHEREAS, General Municipal Law §103 provides that when there
is a need for standardization, the Town Board may specify
particular types or kinds of equipment, material, and/or supplies,
and
WHEREAS, in 1987 a resolution was adopted by the Town Board
adopting certain design standards for various components of the
Town of Queensbury Water Systems, and more specifically, setting
forth standards for hydrants, gate valves, and tapping valves, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury desires to
adopt a resolution specifically authorizing and directing the
standardization of said hydrants, gate valves, and tapping valves,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
determines that there has been and continues to be a need to
standardize hydrants, gate valves, and tapping valves, so that
efficiency and economy may be had in connection with the type and
quantity of spare parts that must be kept on hand, the nature and
extent of the training and requirements for repair and furnishing
of said parts, familiarity of the method or manner in which the
same operate by fire companies and others that may, of necessity,
come in contact with said hydrants and valves, and also to further
the overall efficient operations of the water system and the Water
Department, which must maintain the same.
