Where a public sanitary sewer is not available, under the provisions of Article
II, §
144-6, or where industrial or commercial wastes are excluded, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the provisions of this article.
Before commencement of construction of a private
sewage disposal system the owner shall first obtain a written permit
signed by the Sewer Commission. The application for such permit shall
be made on a form furnished by the Village of Clyde, which the applicant
shall supplement by any plans, specifications, and other information
as are deemed necessary by the Superintendent. A permit and inspection
fee, as set by resolution of the Board of Trustees, shall be paid
to the Village of Clyde 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/she 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 72 hours of the receipt
of notice by the Sewer Commission.
No permit shall be issued for the private sewage
disposal system employing subsurface soil absorption facilities where
the area of the lot is less than 7,000 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, as provided in Article
II, §
144-6, 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 a sanitary manner at all times, at no
expense to the Village of Clyde.
No statement contained in this article shall
be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may
be imposed by the Health Officer.
When a public sewer becomes available, the building
sewer shall be connected to said sewer within 60 days, and the private
sewage disposal system shall be cleaned of sludge and filled with
clean bank-run gravel or dirt.
