This chapter shall be known as the "Regulation of Septic Systems
Law."
The failure rate of septic systems in areas where the seasonal
high groundwater table is three feet or less is very high. Such failures
often result in groundwater contamination and can affect both existing
and future supplies of drinking water. Protection of the public health
and safety require the regulation by the Village of Nissequogue of
the use and placement of septic systems in such areas.
