[Amended 1-13-1997, effective 2-10-1997]
A. Any person, firm or corporation who violates any provision
of this article shall be deemed guilty of an infraction.
B. Any person, firm or corporation who uses any sewage
disposal system or any water supply well which has been constructed,
reconstructed, extended, altered or repaired without a permit as required
by this article shall be guilty of an infraction for each and every
day that such violation continues; provided, however, that such person,
firm or corporation has been notified, in writing, by the Director
of Health, or authorized agent, that the use of such system or well
is in violation of this article.
Any permit issued pursuant to the provisions
of this article shall expire one year after the date that such permit
is issued. Unless all work has been completed on such sewage disposal
system or on such water supply well within said period of time, a
new permit shall be required pursuant to the provisions of this article;
in which case the applicant shall comply with all regulations, ordinances
and statutes of the State of Connecticut and the Town of Mansfield
in effect on the date when such new application is submitted for approval.
The Town Council may, by resolution, establish
a new fee structure.
