Where a public or private sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of Article III, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewerage system complying with the provisions of this article.
Before commencement of construction of a private sewage disposal system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit signed by the Plumbing Inspector and designated private sewage disposal professional. The application for such permit shall be made on a form furnished by the Borough, which the applicant shall supplement by any plans, specifications and other information as are deemed necessary by ordinance or by the Plumbing Inspector.
A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction of the Plumbing Inspector or designated private sewage disposal professional. He shall be allowed to inspect the work at any state of construction, and, in any event, the applicant for the permit shall notify the Plumbing Inspector when the work is ready for final inspection and before any underground portions are covered. The inspection shall be made within three working days of the receipt of notice by the Plumbing Inspector.
The type, capacities, location and layout of a private sewage disposal system shall comply with all regulations of the NJDEP and the Department of Health and Senior Services of the State of New Jersey. No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge to any natural outlet.
At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system as provided in Article II, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this chapter, and the use of any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be abandoned, emptied and filled with suitable granular material within 30 days of the making of such connection.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times at no expense to the Borough.
No statement contained in this article shall be construed to interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by the Health Officer.
