Where a public sewer is not available, under the provisions of § 132-10, the building lateral shall be connected to a private wastewater disposal system complying with the provisions of the rules and regulations of the NYSDOH, to be enforced by the Superintendent and/or the Town County Health Department.
A completed application form, containing results of the percolation tests, computations and a plot plan, including the design and cross-section of the wastewater disposal system, in relation to the lot lines, adjacent and on-site well or water supply and buildings, shall be submitted to the town. The wastewater disposal system shall be designed by a professional engineer, licensed surveyor or architect and shall be in accordance with the NYSDOH Standards for Waste Treatment Works or NYSDEC Standards for Commercial and Institutional Facilities, as appropriate.
A written construction permit shall be obtained from the Superintendent before construction commencement. The Superintendent, or his designated representative, shall be permitted to inspect the construction work at any stage without prior notice.
When the liquid or liquid-borne effluent from a private wastewater disposal system enters any watercourse, ditch, storm sewer or water supply system located in the town in such a manner, volume and concentration so as to create a hazardous, offensive or objectionable condition, in the opinion of the Superintendent or the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), the owner of the premises upon which such wastewater disposal system is located, upon receiving written notice from the Superintendent to do so, shall within 90 days after receipt of such notice, repair, rebuild or relocate such wastewater disposal system for the purpose of eliminating such hazardous, offensive or objectionable conditions. The repair, rebuilding or relocation of the system shall be accomplished with the rules and regulations of the NYSDOH and the town at the owner's expense.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private wastewater disposal system in a satisfactory manner at all times at the owner's expense.
Where a private wastewater disposal system utilizes a cesspool or a septic tank, septage shall be removed from the cesspool or septic tank by a licensed hauler of scavenger wastes at three-year intervals or more frequently.
At such time that a public sewer becomes available to the property, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer, in compliance with this Part 2, and any cesspool, septic tank and similar wastewater disposal facilities shall be cleaned of septage, by a licensed septage hauler, and finally either filled with clean sand, bank-run gravel or dirt, or removed and properly disposed of. When the connection is made to the public sewer, the connection to the private wastewater disposal facility shall be broken and both ends of the break shall be plugged, as appropriate.
No two separate permanent buildings, where the intended use for either is for a distinct and separate business or a dwelling place for a private family or families, shall be connected to the same individual septic tank and tile absorption field.
No statement in this article shall be construed to prevent, or interfere with, any additional requirements that may be deemed necessary by the Superintendent to protect public health and public welfare.
