Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of §
163-6, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the requirements of the State of New York Department of Health and under the control and direction of the local county health office having jurisdiction.
When a public sewer becomes available, the building sewer shall
be connected to said sewer within 90 days, and the private sewage
disposal system shall be cleaned of sludge and filled with clean bank-run
gravel or dirt.
[Amended 5-14-1991 by L.L. No. 4-1991]
A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become
effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction
of the Sanitary Inspector. 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 Sanitary Inspector when the work is ready
for final inspection and before any underground portions are covered.
The inspection shall be made as soon as practicable after receipt
of notice by the Sanitary Inspector.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal
facilities in a sanitary manner at all times and at no expense to
the municipality.
No statement contained in this chapter shall be construed to
interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by
the Health Officer.
