A.
Except as otherwise provided, the owner of all houses, buildings
or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or
other purpose situated within the Town and abutting on any street
or public right-of-way in which there is now located or may in the
future be located a public sanitary sewer within 100 feet [30.5 meters]
of the property line is hereby required to install, at his expense,
suitable toilet facilities therein and to connect such facilities
directly with the proper sanitary sewer line in accordance with the
provisions of this chapter and with any applicable requirements of
the Superintendent.
B.
Said requirements shall not apply to existing houses, buildings or
properties used for human occupancy which abut on a street or public
right-of-way in which the public sanitary sewer was constructed entirely
as excess sewer facilities pursuant to Town Law § 192-a,
provided that said houses, buildings or properties have toilet facilities
connected directly to an on-site sanitary system approved by the Broome
County Department of Health.
A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided
for every building, with the exception that, when one building stands
at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is
available nor can be constructed to the rear building, the building
sewer from the front building may be extended to the rear building.
The whole shall be considered as one building sewer. Old building
sewers may be used in connection with new buildings only when they
are found by the Superintendent to meet all other requirements of
this chapter.
