§ 196. Modification of plans for sewer, wastewater disposal, drainage,   water or water quality treatment districts. 1. When the town board shall   have  established a sewer, wastewater disposal, drainage, water or water   quality treatment district and adopted a plan  of  sewerage,  wastewater   disposal,  drainage,  water  or  water quality treatment system for such   district, such plan shall not be modified  by  the  board,  nor  by  any   officer  of the town, except after public notice given by publication in   the official paper of intention to modify the same, which  notice  shall   specify the particulars in which it is proposed to modify it, and a time   and  place when the board will consider any objections which may be made   thereto, which time shall not be less than ten nor more than twenty days   after the first publication of said notice. When  any  change  shall  be   made  in the plan proposed and once adopted, a revised or additional map   and profile shall be made showing the change,  and  all  such  maps  and   profiles  shall  be  carefully preserved in the office of the town clerk   and open to inspection by all persons interested.2. In the case of water quality  treatment  districts,  amendments  or   modifications  of plans must have the written approval of the department   of health prior to adoption. At the request of an owner of a  parcel  of   property  within the town, if the private well water on such property is   contaminated, a water quality treatment district plan  may  be  amended,   from  time to time, to include said parcel of property. If an owner of a   parcel of property within the town requests exclusion from the district,   such request shall be granted without the  state  department  of  health   approval.  The  removal of a parcel of property from a district shall in   no way affect the owner's  liability  for  charges  which  have  accrued   against   the  owner's  property,  prior  to  said  exclusion,  for  the   procurement, installation, modification, replacement and  removal  of  a   water  quality treatment unit or device or for expenses of operation and   maintenance including monitoring, testing,  regenerating  and  treating.   Should  a public or private water system, supplier or authority commence   supplying water to  any  parcel  of  property  within  a  water  quality   treatment   district,  such  parcel  of  property  shall  no  longer  be   considered part  of  the  water  quality  treatment  district,  and  all   services  to  such  parcels shall be terminated. Termination of services   shall include, the removal of  all  water  quality  treatment  units  or   devices and a charge for the cost of doing so to the benefited property,   except  when  such unit or device was acquired and owned by the property   owner or when the district  determines  that  such  unit  or  device  is   obsolete and no longer useful for any district purpose.
