A. 
It is hereby declared to be a nuisance and it shall be unlawful for any person to use, maintain or suffer or permit to be used or maintained upon any premises owned, controlled or occupied by him or it any cesspool, except existing cesspools, when a public sewer is available to such premises. Any existing cesspool shall not be permitted to be pumped out or otherwise emptied to any degree for future use when a public sewer is available for the disposal of the sewage conveyed into said cesspool.
B. 
For the purpose of this chapter, a public sewer shall be deemed available to any premises if it shall lie in the street, alley or easement abutting said premises. In the application of this chapter, any rear portion of any lot, regardless of the matter of ownership, shall be deemed to be a part of the premises included within the lot as shown by the recorded subdivision of which it is a part. Should any sewer in front of any premises be of insufficient depth to serve the rear portion of such lot by gravity, any person desiring to install plumbing thereon shall make provision for conveying sewage therefrom to the public sewer by pumping or by transmission to some other public sewer, it being the intent hereof that when any portion of the town has been sewered, cesspools therein shall be prohibited, even though it may not be physically possible to provide gravity sewer service.
A. 
It is hereby declared to be a nuisance and it shall be unlawful for any person to keep or maintain or suffer or permit to be kept or maintained at or upon any premises in the Town of Cortlandt owned, occupied or controlled by him or it any privy or dry closet for the reception of human excrement or fecal matter.
B. 
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to commence or proceed with the erection, construction, alteration, repair, raising, addition to, removal or demolition of any building unless there shall be provided for the use of any person employed or working upon any such building or portion thereof a sanitary chemical toilet or a water-flush toilet connected to a sewer, enclosed within a suitable building or structure. Such toilets shall be located upon or within a reasonable distance of the lot or premises upon which such construction work is being done and shall in no case be located more than five hundred (500) feet from the site of the proposed work. The Building Inspector shall not approve the foundation for any building unless and until the toilet facilities provided for the use of persons employed or working thereon shall have been first inspected and approved by the Building Inspector.
Cesspool effluent which does not contain concentrations of industrial liquid wastes, oil, greases or other deleterious substances may be dumped into certain specific manholes when permission, in writing, is secured from the Engineer. No person shall dump cesspool effluent in any manholes other than those designated by the Engineer or do so without permission, in writing. Such permission may be granted only upon application, in writing, by a person engaged in the business of disposing of such effluent. Such application shall state the street address of each location from which such effluent is to be obtained. The permit shall give the date and location of the manhole to be used. The Engineer may refuse to grant such permission to any person who fails to comply with the provisions of this chapter.
