The owner of any property within the Town of Mansfield, or said owner's authorized agent, may request the Director of Health, or authorized agent, to conduct on-site soil tests on such property, notwithstanding that no application for a permit has been filed with the Director of Health concerning such property.

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.
