Before any private or public sewage disposal facility is installed
or altered, it must receive approval by the Sanitary Inspector appointed
by the town. Any residential sewage disposal installation altered
or constructed after the effective date of this chapter shall be designed
and built according to the requirements of this chapter and the requirements,
as they may be from time to time amended, of the New York State Department

systems. Those design requirements are found in Appendix 75-A of Part
75 of Title 10 of the New York Code of Rules and Regulations (10 NYCRR).

component may be replaced, and this chapter shall not be deemed to
require the construction of an entirely new sewage disposal system
as long as, in the opinion of the Sanitary Inspector, the replacement

allow the existing system to function properly. Replacement of a component
of an existing sewage disposal system shall, where site conditions
permit, be in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and the
standards contained in Appendix 75-A for such component. Where site

effects from sewage flows from the system to be upgraded.

be designed and built according to the requirements of this chapter
and the requirements, as they may be from time to time amended, of
