It shall be unlawful for any person to place,
deposit, or permit to be deposited, in any unsanitary manner, on public
or private property, within the Village or in any area under the jurisdiction
of the Village, any human or animal excrement, garbage, or objectionable
waste. Also, no person shall discharge domestic sewage onto the surface
of the ground or discharge it in a way that permits it to come to
the surface of the ground.
No person shall connect a private sewage system
so that sewage flows into a storm sewer or into a drain intended exclusively
for stormwater.
No person shall discharge sewage into a well.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural
outlet, within the Village, or in any area under the jurisdiction
of the Village, any wastewater or other polluted waters, except where
suitable treatment has been provided in accordance with subsequent
provisions of this chapter.
No property owner, builder, or developer shall
be issued a building permit for a new dwelling or structure requiring
sanitary facilities unless a suitable and approved method of wastewater
disposal, conforming to this chapter, is available. All housing construction
or building development which takes place after this chapter is enacted
shall provide for an approved system of sanitary sewers.
Except as hereinafter provided, it shall be
unlawful to construct or maintain any privy, privy vault, cesspool,
septic tank, or other facility intended or used for disposal of wastewater.
The owner(s) of all houses, buildings, or properties
used for human occupancy, employment, recreation, or other purposes,
situated within the Village, and abutting on any street, alley, or
right-of-way in which there is now located or may, in the future,
be located a public sewer is hereby required, at the owner's expense,
to install suitable sanitary facilities therein and to connect such
facilities directly with the proper public sewer, in accordance with
the provisions of this chapter, within 90 days after official notice
to do so, provided that said public sewer is within 100 feet (30.5
meters) of the property line.
The use of the Village public sewers shall be strictly limited and restricted, except as provided in §
300-14, to receiving and accepting the discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes, generated on or discharged from real property within the bounds of the service area of the POTW. All sewer connections which enter a building below the cellar floor or any home with a bathroom in the basement requires an in-line check valve of the same size as the sewer piping installed prior to the trap. The Village is not liable for any damages to individual properties due to sewer main backup.
At the recommendation of the Superintendent,
who determines that one or more segments of the POTW are exceeding
their hydraulic capacity at any time or any specific purpose of this
chapter is being violated, the Village Board shall have the authority
to limit or deny new connections to the POTW until the conditions
leading to the moratorium are corrected. Such correction may be by:
A. Construction of new facilities.
B. Enlarging existing facilities.
C. Correction of inflow and infiltration.
D. Cleaning and repairing of existing facilities.
All requirements, directives, and orders calling
for mandatory use of the sewers, within the service area of the POTW,
for the proper discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial
wastes, shall be established and given by the Village Board, NYSDEC,
USEPA, and/or other such state or federal agencies which have enforcement
powers.
