It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit or permit to be
deposited in an unsanitary manner upon public or private property within the
Town of Putnam Valley, or in any area under the jurisdiction of said town,
any human or animal excrement, garbage, industrial waste or other waste.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural outlet within the Town
of Putnam Valley, or in any area under the jurisdiction of said town, any
sanitary sewage, industrial waste or other polluted waters, except where suitable
treatment has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this
chapter.
The owner of any habitable building or property used for human occupancy,
employment, recreation or other purpose within the sewer district in which
there is located a public sanitary sewer shall install at the expense of such
owner suitable toilet facilities therein and connect such facilities directly
with the public sanitary sewer by means of a house sewer lateral provided
by the town. Upon written notice by the Town Board, the owner has 90 days
to connect. In addition, pursuant to the terms of this section, owners of
property with habitable buildings thereon in the rear of other properties
and not abutting on a street, alley or right-of-way shall connect into the
public sewer in the street, alley or right-of-way to which said property shall
have access. As public sewers become available to properties served by a private
sewage disposal system, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer
pursuant to the terms of this section. Any septic tanks, cesspools and similarly
private sewage facilities shall be abandoned and filled with suitable materials
verified by the House Connection Inspector.
In the administration of this chapter, the connections from the curb
or street line on to private property shall be supervised and administered
by the Board of Health, and all matters relating to sewers lying within the
street, from curb to curb, or from the public sewer to curb, shall be within
the jurisdiction of the House Connection Inspector and the Town of Putnam
Valley.
