Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of Article
II, §
100-5, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the requirements of the State of New York Department of Health and under the control and direction of the local county health office having jurisdiction.
When a public sewer becomes available, the building sewer shall
be connected to said sewer within 90 days, and the private sewage
disposal system shall be cleaned of sludge and filled with clean bank-run
gravel or dirt.
A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become
effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction
of the Superintendent. He shall be allowed to inspect the work at
any stage of construction, and in any event, the applicant for the
permit shall notify the Superintendent when the work is ready for
final inspection and before any underground portions are covered.
The inspection shall be made as soon as practicable after receipt
of notice by the Superintendent.
The type, capacities, location and layout of a private sewage
disposal system shall comply with all recommendations of the Department
of Public Health of the State of New York. No permit shall be issued
for any private sewage disposal system employing subsurface soil absorption
facilities where the area of the lot is less than adequate to support
the proposed installation. No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted
to discharge to any natural outlet.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal
facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no expense to the
municipality.
No statement contained in this article shall be construed to
interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by
the Health Officer.
