It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit, or permit
to be deposited, in any unsanitary manner, on public or private property,
within the Village or in any area under the jurisdiction of the said
municipality, any human or animal excrement, garbage, or objectionable
waste. Also, no person shall discharge domestic sewage onto the surface
of the ground 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 a well.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural outlet, within
the Village, or in any area under the jurisdiction of the said municipality,
any wastewater or other polluted waters, except where suitable treatment
has been provided in accordance with subsequent provisions of this
Part 1.
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 1, is available. All housing construction or building
development which takes place after this Part 1 is enacted shall provide
for an approved system of sanitary sewers.
Except as hereinafter provided, it shall be unlawful to construct
or maintain any privy, privy vault, cesspool, septic tank, or other
facility intended or used for disposal of wastewater.
The owner(s) of all houses, buildings, or properties used for
human occupancy, employment, recreation, or other purposes, situated
within the Village, and abutting on any street, alley, or right-of-way
in which there is now located or may, in the future, be 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 1, within 90 days after official notice to do so, provided
that said public sewer is within 100 feet (30.5 meters) of the property
line.
The use of the Village public sewers shall be strictly limited and restricted, except as provided in §
121-14, to receive and accept the discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes generated on or discharged from real property within the bounds of the service area of the POTW.
At the recommendation of the Superintendent, who determines
that one or more segments of the POTW is exceeding its hydraulic capacity
at any time or any specific purpose of this Part 1 is being violated,
the Village 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 by:
A. Construction of new facilities;
B. Enlarging existing facilities;
C. Correction of inflow and infiltration; or
D. 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 industrial wastes,
shall be established and given by the Village Board, NYSDEC, USEPA,
and/or other such state or federal agencies, which have enforcement
powers.
