Transportation Corporations (TCP) CHAPTER 63, ARTICLE 10
§ 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

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.
