[HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Linwood 6-10-2009 by Ord. No. 10-2009. Amendments noted where applicable.]
In accordance with the National Standard Plumbing Code 311.1
of the State of New Jersey, toilet facilities shall be provided at
all construction sites for workers, and such facilities shall be maintained
in a sanitary condition. In the event toilet facilities are not available,
a portable toilet must be provided by the owner or agent for the property.
Construction worker toilet facilities of the non-sewer type shall
conform to ANSIZ4.3.
A.
No person,
firm or corporation shall hereafter place or install a portable toilet
within the City of Linwood without first obtaining a permit, at a
cost of $50, from the Construction Department. If the permit is for
a limited period of use of 72 hours or less, then the permit fee shall
be $10. Said applicant shall provide the following information as
part of the permit application procedures:
B.
Such permit
shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises.
A portable toilet shall be allowed only for temporary use. The
permit for a portable toilet shall expire as provided therein or with
the building permit or within 10 days of receipt of the certificate
of occupancy/approval, unless specific relief is granted by the Zoning
Officer.
The portable toilet is intended to be used and to be permitted
for such purposes as sport events, picnics, parades, public gatherings,
construction operations and other similar purposes where other toilet
facilities are not available and the need for toilet facilities exists.
Portable toilets shall have watertight, completely closed tanks
for storage of wastes, shall be flyproof, shall be adequately vented
and shall be provided with cleanable seats.
No person shall maintain a septic tank, cesspool, privy or portable
toilet which creates a nuisance as a result of overflow, lack of absorption,
or faulty design or construction.
Every person, firm or corporation engaged in the business of
cleaning or emptying septic tanks, privies, cesspools, or portable
toilets shall use, in such instances, a suitable vehicle properly
provided with watertight, completely closed tanks or boxes, designed
to prevent leakage onto the street or highways within the City and
further designed to prevent the escape of offensive odors into the
atmosphere.
No person shall maintain, use or permit to be used, any receptacle
for human waste, unless such receptacle is so constructed and maintained
that flies cannot gain access to the excremental matter contained
therein, and unless such wastes shall, at all times, be prevented
from flowing over or upon the surface of the ground.
The waste matter from all portable chemical toilets shall be
properly disposed of and treated at a sewage treatment facility, and
no wastes from a portable chemical toilet shall be otherwise disposed
of within the limits of the City of Linwood.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions
of this chapter shall be subject to an immediate violation and fine
of $100 for the first offense, $200 for the second offense and $500
for the third or subsequent offenses.
The provisions of this chapter may be enforced by the Construction
Official, Code Enforcement Officer, Zoning Officer or a police officer
of the City of Linwood.
