Where a public sanitary or combined sewer is not available under the provisions of Article
II, §
221-5, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage-disposal system complying with the provisions of this article.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Before commencement of construction of a private
sewage-disposal system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit
signed by the Manager. The application for such permit shall be made
on a form furnished by the Village, which the applicant shall supplement
by any plans, specifications, and other information as are deemed
necessary by the Manager. A permit and inspection fee of $25 shall
be paid to the Village 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 Manager. He shall be allowed to inspect the
work at any stage of construction and, in any event, the applicant
for the permit shall notify the Manager when the work is ready for
final inspection, and before any underground portions are covered.
The inspection shall be made within four hours of the receipt of notice
by the Manager or designated agent.
The type, capacities, location and layout of
a private sewage-disposal system shall comply with all recommendations
of the Department of Public Health of the State of New York. 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, §
221-5, 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.
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.
