No privy, privy vault, pit or receptacle of any kind used for
either the temporary storage or the permanent deposit of human excreta
shall be constructed, placed, maintained or allowed to remain within
100 feet of any reservoir or within 25 feet of any watercourse tributary
to the public water supply of the Village of Ravena.
No privy, privy vault, pit or other receptacle used for the
permanent deposit of human excreta shall be constructed, located,
placed, maintained or allowed to remain within 200 feet of any reservoir
or within 75 feet of any watercourse tributary to the public water
supply of the Village of Ravena.
No privy, privy vault, pit or other receptacle of any kind placed or used for the temporary storage of human excreta or sewage shall be constructed, located, maintained or allowed to remain between the limiting distances prescribed by § A122-4 and the limiting distances prescribed by § A122-5 unless said pit or other receptacle is so arranged and equipped that the said excreta or sewage is at once removed by pump or other satisfactory means through watertight pipes or conduits to some proper place of ultimate disposal, as hereinafter provided, or unless suitable removable vessels or receptacles for the temporary storage of said human excreta or sewage are provided and at all times maintained in an absolutely watertight condition and in such manner as to permit convenient removal of said excreta or sewage to some place of ultimate disposal as hereinafter set forth.
The excreta collected in the aforesaid removable receptacles permitted under § A122-6 shall be removed and the receptacles cleaned and disinfected as often as may be found necessary in order to maintain the privy in proper sanitary condition and to effectually prevent any overflow upon the soil or upon the foundation or floor of the privy. In effecting this removal the utmost care shall be exercised that none of the contents be allowed to escape while being transferred from the privy to the place of disposal hereinafter specified and that the contents while being transferred from the privy to the place of disposal shall be thoroughly covered and that the least possible annoyance and inconvenience be caused to occupants of the premises and the adjacent premises.
Unless otherwise specifically ordered or permitted by the State Commissioner of Health, the excreta collected in the aforesaid removable receptacles permitted under § A122-6 shall, when removed, be disposed of by burying in trenches or pits at a depth of not less than 12 inches below the surface of the ground and in such manner as to effectively prevent its being washed over the surface of the ground by rain or melting snow and at a distance of not less than 300 feet from any reservoir or watercourse tributary to the public water supply of the Village of Ravena.
Whenever it shall be found that owing to the character of the
soil or of the surface of the ground or to the height or flow of subsoil
or surface water, or other special local conditions, it is considered
by the State Commissioner of Health that the excremental matter from
any privy or aforesaid receptacle or from any trench or place of disposal,
or the garbage or wastes from any dump, may be washed over the surface
or through the soil in an imperfectly purified condition into any
reservoir or watercourse tributary to the public water supply of the
village, then the said privy or receptacle for excreta or the trench
or place of disposal or the said garbage or waste dump shall, after
due notice to the owner thereof, be removed to such greater distance
or to such place as shall be considered safe and proper by the State
Commissioner of Health.
