Where a public sewer is not available, under the provisions of § 148-10, 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 Supervisor, and/or the NYSDOH.
A completed application form, containing results of percolation tests, computations, and a plot plan, including the design and cross-section of the wastewater disposal system, in relation to lot lines, adjacent and on-site well or water supply, and buildings, shall be submitted to the Village of Clyde. A fee, established by Article XII, shall accompany the application. 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 Supervisor before construction commencement. The Supervisor, 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 Village of Clyde, in such a manner, volume, and concentration so as to create a hazardous, offensive, or objectionable condition, in the opinion of the Supervisor or the NYSDOH, the owner of the premises upon which such wastewater disposal system is located, upon receiving written notice from the Supervisor, 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 in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NYSDOH, 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 a property, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer, in compliance with this chapter, 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. 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 statement in this article shall be construed to prevent or interfere with any additional requirements that may be deemed necessary by the Supervisor to protect public health and public welfare.
