No. 28-2017; 12-10-2019 by L.L. No. 36-2019]
The Town shall require inspection of every low-nitrogen sanitary
system at least once every three years by qualified persons employed
by or for the Town. Inspections shall also be required and may be
made at any time when the Sanitation Inspector has reason to believe
a low-nitrogen system is malfunctioning, has been illegally modified
or expanded or is being operated beyond its design limits, or for
other similar good cause shown. At the option of the Town, the Town
may utilize the operations and maintenance reports to satisfy this
inspection requirement.
[Amended 8-8-2017 by L.L.
No. 28-2017]
By applying for and obtaining any permit required under this
chapter, the property owner shall be deemed to have given consent,
at the time of applying for and obtaining such permit, to any inspectors
employed by or for the Town or the district to enter onto the subject
premises to make the necessary inspections called for herein. Such
consent runs with the property, and is assumed by subsequent property
owners upon obtaining possession of said property. Except in emergencies,
the hours of inspection shall be limited to the hours from 9:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, and 10 days' written notice
shall be given to the owner that an inspection is to be made. Only
in cases where the Sanitation Inspector reasonably believes an emergency
to exist may such notice be dispensed with. Any Town or district officer,
employee or agent operating under this chapter may enter onto any
property to make the inspections called for herein and may remove
the minimum amount of grass, shrubs, vegetation, topsoil, dirt and
other coverings of any system where such removal is required to complete
an authorized inspection, and no civil claim shall lie against such
inspector, the Town or the district for any damages reasonably and
necessarily resulting from such authorized activity.
