It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit, or permit to be deposited, in any unsanitary manner, on public or private property that is served by the service area of the POTW within the Sewer District any human waste, garbage, or objectionable waste. Those properties not served by the POTW shall comply with all applicable State and County Department of Health regulations. Also, no person shall discharge domestic sewage onto the surface of the ground (including surface waters) or discharge it in a way that permits it to come to the surface of the ground.
No person shall connect a private sewage system so that sewage flows into a storm sewer or into a drain intended exclusively for stormwater.
No person shall discharge sewage into an active or inactive well.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural outlet, within the Sewer District, any wastewater or other polluted waters, except where suitable treatment has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this Part 2.
No property owner, builder, or developer shall be issued a building permit for a new dwelling or structure requiring sanitary facilities unless a suitable and approved method of wastewater disposal, conforming to this Part 2, is available. All housing construction or building development which takes place after this Part 2 is enacted shall provide for an approved system of sanitary sewers that would connect to a POTW or an approved on-site septic system.
A. 
The owner(s) of all houses, buildings, or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation, or other purposes, situated within the Sewer District, and abutting on any street, alley, or right-of-way in which there is located a public sewer, is hereby required, at the owner's expense, to install suitable sanitary facilities therein, and to connect such facilities directly with the proper public sewer, in accordance with the provisions of this Part 2, within six months after official notice to do so, provided that said public sewer is within 100 feet (30.5 meters) of the property line. Partial lateral sewers will be provided by the Town only during the initial construction of the POTW and only if the easement required to construct the lateral was provided voluntarily by the property owner. Thereafter, it is the owner’s responsibility to construct any lateral sewers or grinder pumps necessary to hook up to the public sewer.
[Amended 5-11-2011 by L.L. No. 2-2011]
B. 
The owner must abandon and properly decommission all septic tanks on his property in accordance with requirements set forth by the Town Board.
C. 
Owners whose properties are serviced by grinder pumps will be responsible for providing continuous electric power to the grinder pump units. This includes the electric hookup from the owner's electric system to the grinder pump control panel (provided by the Town) located on the side of the residence/structure. Where such grinder pumps are shared by multiple property owners, one owner will have the primary responsibility for providing electric power, and the other owner(s) shall have the backup or secondary responsibility. Owners who provide electric power to grinder pumps shall be reimbursed, annually, to compensate them for the cost of the electric power. The grinder pump run-time meter, and the annual average cost of electricity, shall be used to calculate the reimbursement amount.
The use of the Town public sanitary sewers shall be strictly limited and restricted to receive and accept the discharge of sanitary sewage and other domestic wastewaters generated on or discharged from real property within the bounds of the service area of the POTW pursuant to this Part 2. Discharge from garbage disposal units shall be prohibited. In addition, no inflow (see the definition of "inflow.")[1] shall be allowed to enter into the public sanitary sewers.

Editor's Note: See § 153-22 for definition of "inflow."
A. 
The Town Board shall have the authority to enter into agreements to accept sewage and other wastes generated by or discharged from applicants outside the service area of the POTW. The decision on whether to accept wastewater from outside the POTW service area shall consider the available capacity in the system (i.e., excess capacity that is not presently used or not presently planned for future needs/expansion within the Sewer District). Approval and acceptance shall be made only with the expressed written consent of the Town Board (the issuance of a permit) setting forth the terms and conditions of such acceptance.
B. 
All costs necessary to accommodate wastewater from outside the POTW service area shall be borne by the applicant. These costs shall include, but not be limited to, engineering review fees, construction costs, monitoring manholes or flow equalization facilities, impact costs related to capital facilities reserve capacity, annual capital debt share of POTW facilities and annual O & M costs. Schedule B of this Part 2 addresses the charges to be assessed to applicant.[1]
C. 
Unless otherwise agreed to by the Town, applicants shall be responsible for the proper maintenance of any conveyance facilities they have constructed to connect to the district's POTW.
If the Town Board determines that 1) one or more segments of the POTW are exceeding or may exceed their hydraulic capacity at any time or 2) any specific purpose of this Part 2 is being violated, the Town Board shall have the authority to limit or deny new connections to the POTW until the conditions leading to the moratorium are corrected. Such correction may be accomplished by:
A. 
Construction of new facilities;
B. 
Enlarging existing facilities;
C. 
Correction of inflow and infiltration;
D. 
The cleaning and repairing of existing facilities.
All requirements, directives, and orders calling for mandatory use of the sewers, within the service area of the POTW, for the proper discharge of sewage and other wastes, including commercial wastes, shall be established and given by the Town Board and/or state or federal agencies, which have enforcement powers.
