No person shall allow his vault or house or stable drain to
drain into any sewer or storm drain, until first obtaining from the
proper authorities permission in writing to do so.
The sewerage of every building shall be connected with the public
sewer when such sewer is located in a street, way or other land adjacent
to the lot on which the building is located, if the sewer is so located
as to take the sewage therefrom. If the public sewer becomes available
after a residence has been constructed and a private waste water treatment
system installed the connection to the public sewer shall be made
within two years, or at the time of any transfer of title to the property,
if sooner. The time for connection shall be extended for up to five
years in cases where a new on site septic system has been installed,
provided a Title V certificate of compliance has been issued and the
system remains in satisfactory condition. The Board of Health may,
after a public hearing and for good cause shown, extend the time for
compliance.
[Added 2-23-1999 STM, Art. 2]
Any sewer or drain laid in any land or way, public or private,
opened or proposed to be opened for public travel, shall be a common
sewer, and it shall not be laid or connected with any existing common
sewer unless authorized by the Board of Selectmen or its designee.
The penalty for violation of this section shall be as set forth in
§ 1-109 of the Northbridge Code of Bylaws.
