Before commencement of construction of a private
sewage disposal system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit
signed by the Superintendent. The application for such permit shall
be made on a form furnished by the Village, which the applicant shall
supplement by any plans, specifications and other information as are
deemed necessary by the Superintendent. A permit and inspection fee
of $25 shall be paid to the Village at the time the application is
filed.
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 within 48 hours of the 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
absorption facilities where the area of the lot is less than 15,000
square feet. No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge
to any natural outlet.
At such time as a public sewer becomes available
to a property served by a private sewage disposal system, a direct
connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this
chapter, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage
disposal facilities shall be abandoned and filled with suitable material.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private
sewage disposal facilities in sanitary manner at all times, at no
expense to the Village.
No statement contained in this Article shall
be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may
be imposed by the Nassau County Department of Health.
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.
In the event that a building which is connected
to the sanitary sewer is to be abandoned or demolished or a certificate
of occupancy for such building is withdrawn, the sewer shall be disconnected
at the original point of connection with such sewer, and the sewer
shall be plugged in a manner and with a plug that is satisfactory
to the Superintendent. The sewer shall be disconnected, plugged and
inspected prior to any other work at the site.
