The sanitary sewer system of the Village of Bath consists of
lateral and trunk sewers laid in streets and rights-of-way and a sewage
treatment plant, the locations of which are shown upon plans and drawings
filed in the office of the Bath Electric, Gas and Water System and
the office of the Sewer Commission, and all other appurtenances which
are used in whole or in part in connection with the collection, treatment
and disposal of sewage and all extensions, additions and improvements
which may be made to such system. Its purpose is to provide for the
collection and treatment of domestic waste and such industrial waste
as are permitted by this chapter in order to protect the health, safety
and general welfare of the residents of the Village of Bath. The purpose
of this chapter is to protect the sewage system and treatment facilities
by controlling the quantity, quality and manner of discharge of sewage
into the sanitary sewer system and to establish sewer rents by which
the costs of construction of the system and continued collection and
treatment may be equitably borne by residents of the Village, owners
of property, sanitary sewer districts and independent contractors
to whom the system is available.
