A. 
Registration to haul septage and/or to use Town disposal facilities or procedures is a privilege, not a right. The First Selectman, the Director of Health or their duly designated agent has the right to inspect vehicles registered under this article. Registrations may be revoked for a definite period of time by the First Selectman, at his own discretion or upon direction of the Director of Health, for any violation of this chapter.[1]
