Where a public sanitary or combined sewer is not available under the provisions of § 250-10, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal 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 Superintendent. The application for such permit shall be made on a form furnished by the Village, which the applicant shall supplement by any plans, specifications and other information as are deemed necessary by the Superintendent. A permit and inspection fee in the amount indicated in § 250-18B shall be paid to the Village at the time the application is filed.
A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become
effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction
of the Superintendent. He shall be allowed to inspect the work at
any stage of construction, and, in any event, the applicant for the
permit shall notify the Superintendent when the work is ready for
final inspection and before the underground portions are covered.
The inspection shall be made within 48 hours of the receipt of notice
by the Superintendent.
The type, capacities, location and layout of a private sewage
disposal system shall comply with all recommendations of the Department
of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York. No permit
shall be issued for any private sewage disposal system employing subsurface
soil absorption facilities where the area of the lot is less than
15,000 square feet, except that where lots are in existence on or
before May 26, 1966, with an area less than 15,000 square feet, such
permit may be issued, on application to the Board of Trustees of the
Village of Spencerport, provided that such private sewage disposal
system shall in no event have characteristics or capacities less than
the minimum requirements or recommendations of the New York State
Department of Health. 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 § 250-10, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer, in compliance with this Part 2, within 90 days, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be abandoned, cleaned of sludge and filled with clean bank-run gravel or dirt.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal
facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at no expense to the
Village.
No statement contained in this article shall be construed to
interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by
the Health Officer having jurisdiction thereof.
